Chatty Cathy Syndrome
Thu, 13 May 2004, 07:42 pmAnd now for something completely different!
I wonder if those who act in productions get as peed off by
patrons that talk out loud during the performance of a play
(particularly in an intimate theatre such as the one I am currently
performing in - namely KADS)as I do.
In this age of mobile phones many theatres make an announcement
that such devices be turned off....I wonder that with people being used to chattering in front of the telly they forget that actors in live shows can (shock horror!) actually hear!
Perhaps it is getting to the stage where we should ask patrons to switch off their mouths too!
Just thought it might be something to discuss on here.
Anyone else got any ideas about this?
Cheers
Robert :)

"HE'S BEHIND YOU!!"
* If its private conversation - like somebody talking about who's relative is growing what - then thats fairly average behaviour.
* If its about the show - like some old lady down the front saying "oooh I dont like him Ethel." - thats to be expected and dealt with professionally.
* If its to the actors/characters themselves - like somebody watching television eg "Your SO dead buddy" - dealt with according to context.
Most of the time you HAVE to deal with it best you can while your up there, it all depends on the type of show your in and the context of the disruption/interaction.
What ever happened to the art of Impro?
Its at the Freo pub every friday (just)
