Our Theatre
We have a beautiful Drama Theatre in our town. It is an old building situated in the centre of the town. Our theatre shows dramas, tragedies and comedies. Sometimes operas or ballets are shown too by the theatres of other cities.
If you want to go the theatre you must first look through the bill to find out what is on. As it is sometimes rather difficult to get tickets you must book them at the box-office.
When you go in our theatre, you see the box-office on the right. Here you can buy or book tickets. When we come to any theatre we leave our coats and hats in the cloak-room and take a check in order to get them back when the performance is over.
If we want to know the cast we buy a play-bill. We look through it to find out who plays the leading role in the performance we are going to see. After this we take our seats and wait for the lights to go down, the curtain goes up and the play begins.
Some people don't like to have seats far from the stage. They try to get tickets for the stalls. If you have little money you take seats on the gallery.
Shows at our theatre start at 7.30.The performance begins when the third bell has rung. If the spectators enjoy the performance, they applaud the actors and actresses on the stage.
During the intervals the spectators go to the refreshment-room to eat or drink something. They discuss the performance and how the actors have played.
After the end of the performance the spectators rise from their seats and go to get their coats. You hear them say :„ I enjoyed the performance very much ", „ The performance was splendid", „The actors were charming (or superb)", „The play was a success".
