It's in the middle of a perrformance, there is a full house a lot of smoke & the venue is plunged in to darkness - What would you do?

If the theatre is already full of smoke, then isn't it a little late? Surely something would have been done before then.

It would also depend very much upon the theatre, location of the exits, etc. Obviously the first thing would be to get everyone out the exits of which the EXITS LIGHTS would not be affected by power blackouts as if they are properly installed will have a secondary power source.

Calling Emergency Services would also be useful.

EDIT: Feel like a N008. Just re-read what I wrote and it didn't make sense.
