Auditorium lobby screens for concerts, plays and assemblies
The auditorium lobby fills up twice a night during a show’s run, once on the way in and again at intermission. A screen there can share the program, thank the crew and remind families about the next performance before they head home.

Why it matters
The program gets left on the seat
Paper programs cost money, take time to print and end up on the floor. Families waiting in the lobby have nothing to look at but the box office line. The cast, crew and pit orchestra rarely get seen by name.
Ideas for Auditorium Lobby Screens
Tonight’s running order
Show the song list or the order of performers, one page per slide.
Cast and crew introductions
Add a photo and name for each lead, plus a group photo of the crew and orchestra.
Next performance promo
Before families leave, show the date of the spring musical or the next band concert.
The program on their phone
A QR code slide lets families open the screen’s slides on their own phone, program included, before the lights go down.
Concessions and fundraisers
Point families to the bake sale or flower sale run by the boosters.
Assembly and guest speaker days
On assembly days, welcome the speaker and show which grades sit where.
How it works with Digital Signage
Auditorium Lobby Screens, step by step.
Three steps
Load the show week
Add the program, cast photos and promo slides with a start date on the first performance.
End it after closing night
Set every show item to stop after the last performance so the lobby is ready for the next event.
Keep the next show hidden
Build the spring musical slides early and keep them hidden until tickets go on sale.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Tips to get it right.
Auditorium Lobby Screens tips
Get permission for cast photos
Check your school’s media permissions before showing student names and photos.
Credit the whole crew
Name the stage crew, lighting team and pit musicians, not just the leads.
Test it with the lights down
Lobbies can be dim before a show, so check that your slides still read well in that light.
Keep box office details up
During ticket sales, leave a slide with show times, prices and how to pay.

Questions
Auditorium Lobby Screens questions
The lobby screen keeps a separate timeline, so show-week content can start on opening night and end after the last performance. Add photos, video, PDFs, Google Slides and quick announcements.
Yes. Add video from your library or computer to the timeline. Check permissions for every student who appears in it.
A QR code slide lets them open the screen on their own phone and scroll through it after they sit down. It does not replace a printed program for families who prefer paper.
We quote the lobby screen as part of the setup you choose. Your demo checks the TV or player you already have and shows how a show’s slides go on and come off.
