Insert name(s) of companions
A play is a live form of entertainment.
Actors will be right in front of me in the theater.
The show is on Saturday, November 12th at noon,
but I can go and see my seats early at 11AM.
A Christmas Carol takes place at Trinity Rep
in Providence, Rhode Island in the Lederer Theater Center
at 201 Washington Street in Providence, Rhode Island.
I can bring fidget toys, snacks and
__________________________________ with me to the play!

When I arrive at the theater, I may have to wait in line
at the Box Office to pick up tickets.
I will try to be quiet and stay with
_____________________________________ while we wait.

When we go into the lobby, someone with
a Trinity Rep name tag will show me where to go.
If I need to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water,
I can go with ________________________________ at this time.

I can either take the elevator or
stairs to get up to the 3rd floor.
When I get to the 3rd floor, an usher will show me
where to enter the Chace Theater.
We have tickets that tell us what row and number our seats are.
We need to sit in these seats because they are reserved for us.
This is not a choice!
Someone will show me where these seats are.
The show begins at 12 noon and someone will tell us
we cannot use phones or cameras in the theater.
Once the play begins, I will watch actors performing
in the same room as me.
The story is about an old man, Ebenezer Scrooge,
on the night before Christmas.
There are four ghosts who visit him throughout the night to
tell him he needs to change his life and be a better person.
The ghosts are NOT real. They are actors in costumes and
makeup, like on Halloween! They are pretending.
If I get scared, I can go with _____________________________

to the lobby to relax.
I can also watch from the back of the audience
in the bench seats.
If I get scared or overwhelmed, I can count to 10 slowly,
take 5 deep breaths, or play with _________________________
(name of favorite fidget toy)
When and if I am ready to return to my seat,
an usher can help me back into the audience.
Halfway through the play, we will have a break
to stretch and go to the bathroom or get a snack.
This is called an intermission.
The intermission will last about 15 minutes.
Afterwards, we should return to our seats
to watch the rest of the play.
When the play is over, I can show that I enjoyed it
by giving them a big round of applause!
