Walking Out Of Performances at interval.

Walking 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.

G'day Alan,

"Personally I think that a poster for a production should have some kind of blurb on it to give you an idea what it is about. I don't mean something like "A Comedy". That is all that most of the blurbs have, so it says that if you like comedy you will probably enjoy the show. But if it says something like, "What happens when you confuse Ernest with Russian Revolution" with the comedy, people actually get an idea of what it is about."

- Now that's good common-sense thinking! Promote yourself to the publicity committee!
