Audience Tips

​Here are a few tips and guidelines for audience members to get the most out of their Theatre Threshold experience.
  • All shows are free unless otherwise stated; therefore, you do not need a ticket to enter the performance space
  • Arrive twenty minutes before the performance time to better your chances of parking and viewing. Those who are not enrolled in the Showcase class are not guaranteed a spot in the theatre, so getting their early to wait in the visitor’s line is your best bet for getting a seat in the performance
  • Food and drink is not allowed in the theatre
  • Please turn off all electronic devices prior to the performance starting
  • We do not allow tapings or pictures of the performances
  • Please be mindful of other audience members around you as they are there to enjoy the same performance you are watching
  • Disruptive, loud, or inappropriate behavior will result in an usher or a staff member escorting you out of the theatre and may lead to future bans from performances
  • We do not accommodate late seating

We hope you enjoy your visit to CSULB’s Theatre Threshold!
