General Information

CLOTHING

Avoid wearing garments that are predominately red or white or those that have narrow, high-contrasting stripes or alternating dark and light colors. Because of difficulties attaching microphones, avoid turtleneck and crewneck sweaters. Modest suits, slacks, dresses, and tops should be worn and should not be sleeveless, form-fitting, or have low-cut necklines. All dresses and skirts must cover the knees when seated.

Note: If clothing is unacceptable, you will be asked to change, so you may want to bring several options.

JEWELRY

Due to the conservative nature of our audience, please refrain from wearing jewelry of any kind, including brooches, and tie tacks, clips, or chains. Simple wedding bands are appropriate.

---

MAKE-UP

Due to studio light-ing, a slight paling in skin tone will be visible, making the use of cosmetics necessary. If you are planning to do your own makeup, please use it conserva-tively. Remember that our makeup person will give final approval, and if necessary may provide touch ups. Please don’t panic! This makeup is relatively light and not colorful.

CHILDREN

Remember that this is a technical facility and can be dangerous for unsupervised children. 3ABN has no child care facilities, so please make prior arrangements for an adult to be with your children at all times. You may make credit card, calling card, and collect calls from any of the phones that are not in use. If you need to receive calls from family and friends while at 3ABN, please have them call 618-627-4651. Please do not give our 800 number for personal calls, as this line is used ex-clusively for prayer. Many of our guests assume that 3ABN pays a flat fee for 800 calls, but we actually pay by the minute for calls received on this line.
