Default Re: Theater etiquette

Saw an orchestra concert once where they started the first piece and then the conductor's cell phone started ringing. She cut off the orchestra and answered her phone. Then she turned around to the audience and said "you probably didn't appreciate me doing that to you. So please turn off your cell phones!!" It was obviously a setup and definitely got the point across. Long term, did it actually help change behaviour? Probably not...
