Going to see “The Cat in the Hat” at the Croswell Opera House

Going to see
“The Cat in the Hat” at the
Croswell Opera House
I am going to see a play at the Croswell Opera
House. The play is called “The Cat in the Hat.”
2
If we drive to the Croswell, we will park
either in the parking lot or on the street.
We may need to wait in line to pick up our
tickets.
3
Once we have our tickets, we will go into a
lobby with a red carpet. There are bathrooms
next to the lobby. If I need to, I can use the
bathroom before we go to our seats.
4
Someone will show us where to sit.
1. I will have a seat I can sit in.
2. I can sit on the floor if my parents say
it’s OK.
3. I can stand in the aisle or move around
if I want to.
5
The audience area is for all of us.
The stage is for the actors only.
6
There will be a lot of people in the theater
and it may get noisy. If it gets too loud:
1.
2.
3.
I can bring
headphones if I
want.
I can put my hands
over my ears.
I can leave and
take a break in a
quiet space near the lobby.
If I leave, I can come back whenever I am
ready.
7
Watching a play is like watching TV or a
movie, except there are actually people on a
stage in front of us. These people are called
actors, and their job is to make a fun show for
everyone to watch. They can see and hear me
too. I can’t change the channel or turn the
volume up or down.
8
During the show:
1.
2.
3.
I can watch and listen to the actors quietly.
I can laugh, clap or cheer if I like something.
I can hold things in my hand if that makes me
feel comfortable.
If I need to talk:
1.

3.
I can talk quietly to my family.
I can write down what I want to say.
I can go to the lobby.

with my family.
