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.

And that is also a valid argument, if we were doing this for money instead of for the love of. Tell me, do you belong to one of these theatre companies that constantly moans because they cannot hang on to their younger actors? Perhaps if we gave our audiences something a little different more often, they would gain an appreciation of it. Believe me when I say that the whoops vicar scenario is usually what they get. Travesties is not experimental, in fact a wouldn't even call it 'cutting edge'. It's just different AND entertaining, it's Stoppard how could it be anything else. You cannot give the audience the same old thing time after time, ssoner or later even they will get bored with it. Money is not the bottom line. Yes, I know it's what keeps the ball rolling, but community theatre companies are not here to make heaps of money.
