Re: Theater etiquette
There's absolutely a trend. I was at the MET Opera a couple months ago.. and a woman's cell phone went off four times... each time I turned around to tell her her phone was going off.. and she insisted it was not her phone...each time getting more annoyed. Finally I asked if she had checked her phone.. and when she reached down.. sure enough.. it was her phone. She then spent much of the performance texting.
Children are also a problem. I've worked so many family shows where parents haven't taken their young children out when they are screaming and crying. It's distracting for audience.. and tech too when the child is so loud I can't hear my SM over the Telex.
