On SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23RD, I will go

to The Rep and see a play called THE ANT

AND THE GRASSHOPPER

» » »

The performance will be at the Sally

Levy Opera Center on Hazel Avenue.

When I go in the entry there will be

someone to give us our tickets.

When I have my ticket,

I will go upstairs to the

performance.

» » » » »I may use the elevator

or the stairs.

When I get to the second

floor I will go down a hall

and turn left to get to the

performance space.

If I use the stairs I will see

a mannequin in a pretty

red dress at the top.

When I enter the

performance space, I can

choose my seat. Another

person with a name tag

called an usher will be

there to help me. The usher

will also help me with any

questions I have. Other

people will be coming in to

find their seats. There will

be an area that has tape on

the floor. The area behind

the tape is for actors only so

they can do the play.

The actors will come onto the

stage area and move, talk and

sing to tell us the story. The actors

will be dressed like animals and

they will jump around like the

animals they are pretending to

be. During the play there will

be music and talking through a

speaker, but it will not be loud.

When the play The Ant and the

Grasshopper begins a person

from The Rep will come out and

talk to us about how to be a good

audience. We can laugh at things

that are funny and clap for songs

that we like. When the person has

finished talking to us, the play

will begin.

If I need a break from watching the play, The Ant and the

Grasshopper, there are two things I can do:

An usher can help me find the pacing lane

where I can walk back and forth. I will still

be able to watch the actors on stage if I

am walking in the pacing lane.

If I need more space, the usher can help

me find the fidget area.

When the show is over I can clap for the actors.

We will leave the theatre the same way we came in.

If I want to meet the actors or touch their costumes

they will be in the hall on my way out. If I ask, I can

have their autograph or have the person who comes

with me take my picture with them.

Thank you for planning a trip to The Rep!We’re so excited to meet you!
