Planning to Arrive Before, and Stay After, the Show. There are pre-show and post-show Critic discussions, so, when scheduling your transportation, plan to arrive 45 minutes before the opening curtain and stay about 45 minutes after the show. Depending on where
where you 're are going and the time of day, you may want to allow some extra time for in case you get temporarily lost or stuck in traffic.
When you get to the show's Cappies room on time, you'll have a chance, before the discussion begins, to look at the tech displays and to chat with the other Critics. In some Cappies chapters, a critic who arrives after the directors speech is not permitted to see the show. A Critic who gets there less than ten minutes before curtain may not get to see the show, as the school may take back their ticket. A Critic who gets there after curtain, even if the school lets them in, would have missed too much to review the show. Check with your local chapter for specific rule.
Determining How You'll Get There. Work out with your parents how you're going to get to and from shows. Nearly always you'll have to get there by car.
