Starlight Theatre Rules
Guests of the Starlight Theater are asked to be considerate of fellow visitors. The following guidelines are in place to make the theatre visit for you and others around you as pleasant and enjoyable as possible.
The majority of the rules at the Starlight Theatre revolve around respecting performers and other guests. This includes:
- Guests should arrive in time to sit down before the show — latecomers may be held until a break in the performance
- You should not block any other guests’ view by standing or using umbrellas at your seat
- Do not smoke in seated areas
- Refrain from disturbing others during your show, including using mobile phones, moving around, or switching seats.
No outside food or drink is allowed. The exception is one commercially sealed bottle of water per person. Empty 24-oz re-usable water bottles are also allowed.
bag policy
The Starlight Theatre updated its bag policy for 2024. Now, bags larger than 12” x 12” x 6” are prohibited, and no backpacks are allowed. Clear bags make passing security much more straightforward — all bags will be scanned and searched on entry, and there may be exceptions for medical items.
Cell Phones
Use of cell phones in any capacity is not allowed during the performance, as the noises and lights are distracting for other members of the audience. Phones should be turned to off or silent and stowed away throughout the duration of the performance.
