  • Theater Evacuation and Emergency Situation Guidelines
    THEATER EVACUATION AND EMERGENCY SITUATION GUIDELINES As volunteer STARS or RedCoats, you have a unique role in the safety of guests who attend shows at Playhouse Square. We ask that you take this role very seriously. In an emergency, our primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of guests, volunteers, performers and employees of Playhouse Square. When you are assigned to work inside a theater or any other position within the complex, it is imperative that you are familiar with your surroundings. You will often be the first person a guest encounters if they have a question or need assistance. If something doesn’t look or feel right, do not hesitate to seek out a Head Usher or House Manager to assist. Your role is to “See Something. Say Something.” If everyone raises their level of awareness about their surroundings and pays attention to the details, it will assist Playhouse Square in making our theaters a special place for everyone to enjoy. Please take time to become familiar with the following evacuation guidelines in the unlikely event that any/all of the theaters in Playhouse Square need to be evacuated. These are general guidelines to follow regardless of the location and information about evacuation routes for each theater. We have also included guidelines for active shooter response and your role if a guest is reported missing. THEATER EVACUATION Upon Arrival In The Theater: Check emergency exit doors in your area to be sure they are functional and free of obstructions. Open emergency exit doors, see what’s on the other side of the door and get your bearings.

  • TOTO Bio (PDF)
    TOTO Bio Few ensembles in the history of recorded music have individually or collectively had a larger imprint on pop culture than the members of TOTO. As individuals, the band members’ imprint can be heard on an astonishing 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a HALF A BILLION albums. Amongst these recordings, NARAS applauded the performances with 225 Grammy nominations. Band members were South Park characters, while Family Guy did an entire episode on the band's hit "Africa." As a band, TOTO sold 35 million albums, and today continue to be a worldwide arena draw staging standing room only events across the globe. They are pop culture, and are one of the few 70s bands that have endured the changing trends and styles, and 35 years in to a career enjoy a multi-generational fan base. It is not an exaggeration to estimate that 95% of the world's population has heard a performance by a member of TOTO. The list of those they individually collaborated with reads like a who's who of Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, alongside the biggest names in music. The band took a page from their heroes The Beatles playbook and created a collective that features multiple singers, songwriters, producers, and multi-instrumentalists. Guitarist Steve Lukather aka Luke has performed on 2000 albums, with artists across the musical spectrum that include Michael Jackson, Roger Waters, Miles Davis, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck, Don Henley, Alice Cooper, Cheap Trick and many more. His solo career encompasses a catalog of ten albums and multiple DVDs that collectively encompass sales exceeding 500,000 copies.
