CURTAIN UP

Wed, 18 Apr 2007, 04:08 pm

What time is acceptable for a show with a stated time of 8.00 pm to start? If late, what are acceptable reasons?

Buses, trains, cinemas all start on time, however I have found that the greater majority of theatre productions - at all levels - in Australia start between 5 to 15 minutes late, for no apparent reason. The audience have learnt to turn up late, 'they'll wait for us!'
