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.

Kris,

You're not getting the point of all the previous posts.

Here it it: If you don't like people leaving, TOUGH! Their actions are none of your business. Their money, their perogative.

What would you prefer they did? Stand up and yell out "This is a load of crap"?

This is a way for people to get away from something they feel uncomfortable about, without ruining it for everyone else. Try to appreciate that!

Talk about the thespian ego! God, if performers can get so upset about someone doing something as trivial as walking to an exit door, how the heck do they function in real life??
