Walking Out Of Performances at interval.
Sun, 29 July 2001, 05:48 pmWalking out of a performance at interval or at any stage is serious bad form. Not only is it disrespectful to the cast, crew and anyone else associated with the show; it is a waste of money. The first act of travesties, for example, is confusing but the second act ties up most of the confusion. There are medical conditions in which case it is perfectly fine to leave at any stage(Unless they are faked), but I have no respect for anyone who leaves a performance because they don't understand it.

I have worked for 12 years in regional theatre, and it took me a while to realise that the best way to judge your own work is to learn from the audience, and not just indulge in mutual back-patting among your own ranks.
If we, as performers, are offended by an unsatisfied audience, then we should be doing something else with our lives!
