Find it now!In school, we watched a video of a show where everytime someone took a picture with flash, the console op fired some strobes that were pointed at the audience
How crazy are you will cell phones? There is one theatre up here where if you take your cellphone out during a performance, the ushers or FOH manager will ask you to leave and not come back. Especially now that some phones like Blackberry have a crazy bright LED flash, I think its just as bad as using a camera.

We try to rephrase the pre-show announcement so that people will actually listen to them, because you find people get too used to "no flash photography"
Even beyond the blatant disregard for the performers' safety, the photographers degrade their own pictures with flashes. The bright light washes out much of the lighting that designers painstakingly created. They won't be capturing the event as it really occurred.
On broadway you get a $500 fine if your phone goes off let alone if you instigate texting or a call. so its not so crazy if your paying to see a show why should you have to listen to someone else's sell phone or see the brightness of their dumb texting.

this was told to me by the director at our school when we went to the Guthrie, he told us that while the Guthrie may not be that strict that he has heard of it happening on Broadway. I am not sure if its true or if it is how they do it. but he rarely tends to speak about something unless he is sure of it.
