Going Into the Theater
This is where I will wait to go into the theater with other children. I will try my best to

squeeze a squishy star the ushers will give me if I need one.

During the Performance
During the performance, I will stay in my seat. If I feel scared, I can cover my ears,
squeeze something squishy, or hold my grown-up’s hand. I can also ask my grown-up to
take me to a quiet place if I need a break.
