The Hallways I will walk through these hallways before I go into the theater. The hallways will be filled with people.
Activities There will be some fun activities in the lobby.
Going Into the Theater This is where I will wait to go into the theater with other children. I will try my best to be calm while I wait my turn. I can hold my grown-up s hand, take deep slow breaths, or squeeze a squishy star the ushers will give me if I need one.
The Ushers The ushers will be dressed in purple or white festival shirts. I will show them my ticket. They can also help me find my seats or give me a squishy star to squeeze. I can talk to them if I need any help while I m in the theater.

These are the actors. Piggie is wearing pink. Gerald is wearing gray. They are best friends in the performance.
The actors will be very silly sometimes. The actors will sing and dance during the performance. I will hear music and funny noises.
The actors will use many props. They may also change costumes throughout the show. I will see many different colors and textures.
There will be loud music and singing at certain parts of the show. The actors will dance often. There will be a lot of noise and movement.
They actors may seem confused or frustrated at times, but they will always find solutions for their problems together.
The lights might dim sometimes, but the theater will never get too dark.
When the performance is over, the actors may bow. This is when you can clap to show how much you enjoyed the show!
During the Performance During the performance, I will stay in my seat. If I feel scared, I can cover my ears, squeeze something squishy, or hold my grown-up s hand. I can also ask my grown-up to take me to a quiet place if I need a break.
Clapping People clap at the end of a performance to show that they enjoyed the show. If I think the clapping is too loud, I can cover my ears.
Leaving the Theater After the performance is over, we will get any jackets and bags, throw out our trash, and leave the theater.
The Festival I will find more fun activities located throughout the neighborhood. If my grown-up says it is okay, they can take me here before or after the performance.
We hope that you have a great time at Elephant & Piggie s We Are In a Play! and the rest of the EQT Children s Theater Festival! If I want to learn more, I can ask my grown-up to watch a preview online! https://youtu.be/nnf8ldcrsac
