Dress code

Previously, it was customary to attend performances only in the evening toilets. Today, there is no such strict dress code. Nevertheless, we must try to look accordingly. In the theater, you should not wear shorts, for example, because such clothes do not match the case at all, and in such a form they will not miss the auditorium. It is better to choose another outfit. Moreover, even in our time there are such theater-goers who come to watch performances in the evening toilets. On their background, the viewer in shorts will look like a devotee of bad taste.
