SCCT Info for Parents

With our field trip coming up this Wednesday, we wanted to go over a few last minute details. Have your child dress up like they would for a special event or nice occasion, we want to be presentable for the theatre.

​

Our plan for is to eat an early lunch at 10am in the classroom (30 minutes earlier than normal), taking restroom breaks during. If you're able to send in a lunchbox that day, it'd help us out, but it is not required. Students will still be able to go through the lunch line and bring a bagged lunch back to the classroom.

​

Then we'll load the 2 buses around 10:30. Travel time should be 35-40 minutes depending on the route our bus drivers take. SCCT is wanting us to arrive 11:15-11:30am to give enough time for parking, last minute bathroom breaks, and seating. The performance will begin at 11:45am. It should last 40-45 minutes without intermission. We should arrive back to school around 1-1:15pm. At that time we plan to eat an afternoon snack since our lunch will be so early. Feel free to pack your child a larger snack/ multiple snacks for Wednesday, taking our change in meal time into consideration. We'll let students play outside if the weather is nice as well that afternoon/ if we have time.

​

Here are a few things you can discuss as well with students regarding theater etiquette. We'll be discussing this as well with the class Wednesday morning.

​

-Treat all staff and volunteers with respect.

-No food or beverages (other than water) are permitted in the theatre.

-No use of cell phones or any electronics in the theatre.

-Keep your hands to yourself. Do not touch other patrons, actors, or props.

-Do not kick the chair, wall, or stage in front of you.

-Do not talk to your neighbors during the production.

-Keep reactions and comments short, respectful, and appropriate.

-If sat in the front row balcony there MUST be an adult sitting in that row.
