How to "Stagedoor" at a show

How to meet actors after a performance


Step1
Arrive early to the theatre/venue, preferably fifteen minutes before seating begins.


Step2
Find an usher or box office attendant. Ask them where the stage door is. Follow their directions and find it, just so you know where it is.


Step3
After the show lets out, head to the stagedoor.


Step4
When you greet the performers, do not refer to them by their character name. Definitely don't refer to them by the wrong character name. Ask them politely to sign whatever you've brought, and/or take a picture. Do not shove things in their faces, scream, or grab them. Don't expect them to spend an hour with you (although, there are some actors who can talk for hours at stage door. Most keep it under a minute, though).
