A Christmas Carol - The Kansas City Repertory Theatre

Can we take photos or videos of the performance?
The use of cameras and other recording devices is a violation of the actors’ contracts. We ask that you
refrain from taking photos or videos during the production. However, you are welcome to take photos
of students in the lobby or in the theatre before the performance begins. It is also important to
remember that electronic and recording devices should not be brought inside the theatre. This includes
pen lights, hand‐held games, virtual pets, cell phones, mp3 players, pagers, ipods and bright or noisy
jewelry.
What about cell phones?
The use of cell phones (including text messaging), cameras or any other recording device is not allowed
in the theater at any time! All cell phones should be completely turned off and put away during the
performance. Cell phones left on “vibrate” give off a glow that can distract actors and audience
members.
Where are the restrooms located?
Restrooms are located at the west end of the lobby. The best time to use the restroom is before the
show or during intermission. Once the show starts, we request that audience members do not leave
their seats. Water fountains are located near the restrooms.
Can we take food or drinks into the theatre?
No. There is no food, drinks or gum allowed in the theatre during the performance.
Can we bring sack lunches?
Sack lunches can be stored by the House Management staff until after the performance. They cannot be
consumed in the lobby before or during the production. If you plan on bringing lunches, please notify us
in advance and group them together in a large box or tub.
What about backpacks?
Please do not have your students bring backpacks or large bags as they are not allowed in the theatre
and there is no room for storage.
Is there a concession stand?
Snacks will be sold at intermission but cannot be taken into the theatre. Please alert students to this
policy so that they will not buy more than they can enjoy during intermission. Please let your students
know to bring one dollar bills if they would like to purchase concessions. This will insure the line
moves swiftly.
What nearby lunch options are available?
There are several restaurants near the theatre downtown. If you are planning to eat at a downtown
restaurant, it is advised that you contact them prior to your visit so that they can plan accordingly.
