FoneAway Phone Pouches for Theatres

Click here to jump to the FAQs.

Theatres are magical places, designed to provide a special experience for their paying audience. The ambience and audience experience, can however, be seriously and negatively impacted by the inconsiderate use of mobile phones during performances.

Theatres and Concert Venues Need Secure Mobile Phone Control

A raucous ringtone, a suddenly brightly lit screen, or an annoying phone conversation, are just a few examples of just how easy it is for mobile phones to instantly destroy the atmosphere in the theatre for those close to the phone user, or offer distraction for those on stage working hard to deliver an immersive experience.

Live theatre is especially vulnerable, because actors can see screens, audience attention affects performance energy, and recording threatens intellectual property (a particular worry for commedians).

Phone Free Theatre Policies

Phone-free policies restore audience immersion, respect for performers and atmosphere at the venue. They also reduce the opportunity for piracy, and help to improve audience etiquette. 

The FoneAway Mobile Phone Pouch System provides a simple, practical and affordable solution that not only stops mobile phone distractions, but also helps to prevent unauthorised recording of performances.

  • Prevent unwanted mobile phone disturbance
  • Maintain performance energy
  • Enhance audience experience
  • Protect against unauthorised recording of performances.
