50 How to enjoy our plays? SCHOOL OUTING TO THE THEATRE Booking To book your seats please contact your local sales representative or our main office. It is important to take into account that theatres have a limited seating capacity; your seats are guaranteed only if you buy your tickets in advance. In most cities we also offer early-bird discounts. When contacting your local sales representative please have the following data at hand: the plays you wish to attend, the number of seats you are booking for both students and teachers. It is necessary to leave the phone number and of the person in charge of the outing. USEFUL TIPS AND INFORMATION Tickets Collect the money for the tickets from the children well in advance. Our experience has shown that some children forget to bring the money and the authorizations on the day of the outing. To avoid this we recommend using deadlines. 1 teacher/adult free every 10 students. Arrival time We suggest arriving between 15 and 25 minutes before starting time to allow enough time for parking, lining up and so on. A maximum tolerance of 10 minutes may be granted if the rest of the audience agrees to wait. As you may share the venue with different schools, it is important to start our shows on time. Length of the plays Between 50 and 60 minutes, depending on the play BAP AT YOUR SCHOOL Transforming your school into a magical stage At Your School is a simple, affordable, safe and smart way of making the most of a unique educational experience without taking the students out of school. Each play has been specially adapted for alternative stage areas like multi-purpose rooms, halls, gymnasiums, auditoriums, etc. No special requirements are needed, except for enough room to accommodate the spectators and perform the show. 49
