requested to follow their instructions<br />
and remain calm. You will be directed<br />
to a meeting area, where you are to<br />
remain unless otherwise advised by staff<br />
or emergency personnel. If you discover<br />
a fire, you should activate the nearest<br />
fire alarm and, immediately following<br />
evacuation, identify yourself to a staff<br />
member and provide details.<br />
Cameras, cell phones and snacks<br />
Please enjoy your snacks outside the<br />
auditorium and bring only bottled water<br />
inside. Cameras are not permitted. Please<br />
double-check that your cell phone is<br />
turned off.<br />
