The audience from Hell
Sun, 8 Mar 2009, 02:14 pmThis week I heard of the latest nightmare to hit the theatre – school kids in the front row.
So what is new? As well as talking, texting and slouching, they pull faces or make gestures at the actors throughout the performance, hence trying everything in their power to throw the cast off course.
The same can be said for

In my most recent performance, which I try to aim at people more my age, the front row was filled with adults that were definitely 40+
The whole time they squirmed and talked and texted... They didn't have to pay to be there, so why make it so uncomfortable for everyone there?
But in a sense, I can see where you are coming from- my entire High School grade was a nightmare to go anywhere with- they were incredibly raucous and generally went out of their way to make any performance incredibly annoying.. I swear there were about 3 students who were ever actually enthusiastic towards theatre, which the majority had a habit of wrecking for us.
