How to Tweet During this Show

Excuse me? I can Tweet during the show?
Yes, you totally can! On any night of the show, from any seat, you are granted permission to Tweet as fervently as you wish!

That means that you can have your phone switched on during the show– BUT. Don't be that person who makes a ruckus at the theatre by answering a phone call or having a text conversation with a friend from across the room.
You can Tweet, but do it nicely!

Here's how:

1. Please silence your phone. No one wants to hear any ding-dinging (or other odd noises) coming from your side of the theatre. Don't forget that this is not a movie theater! There are live, unpredictable actors onstage, and frankly, we can't stop them from stopping you from texting if they feel like it...
Switch the volume button on the iPhone (left hand upper side of the phone) off, and disable any alarms that might sound. Or, simply turn the volume all the way down on any phone to "silence all."

2. Use the Twitter app on your smartphone to send Tweets.  If you don't use a smartphone, you can still send Tweets via text message. See Twitter for more info about setting up text message Tweets.

3. Don't forget to include #DeFindYourself in all Tweets about the show. This will ensure that anyone can search #defindyourself and follow all of the chatter happening about the show! ***Note: if you don't see your Tweet when you search #DeFindYourself on Twitter, your privacy settings probably don't allow your Tweets to be seen publicly. If you want to change this, go to the gear icon at the top right hand corner of the Twitter page and click to find "Settings." From there, scroll down to "Tweet Privacy"and uncheck the box, "Protect my Tweets."

Are you excited? We are! We'll see you at the show!

  1. As we've learned, mobile Twitter will only show Top Tweets when you search for a hashtag. So if you don't see your Tweets appearing on your phone during the show, not to worry! You can always log on to Twitter from home afterwards, search "defindyourself," and select "All" in the results to get the full list of Tweets.

    Otherwise, the Tweet participation was EXCELLENT on opening night! Keep chatting!
