I was lucky enough to be invited to see Frost/Nixon at the State Theater last night. It was very good! Sidebar: Go see it--it's playing through Sunday.
What makes me want to scream: PEOPLE WHO LEAVE BEFORE THE ACTORS TAKE THEIR BOWS.
As soon as the curtain went down, droves of people got up and left. As someone who has been onstage (albeit MANY years ago), this is the HEIGHT of bad manners. I have not seen this behavior anywhere else in the world (yes, I've been lucky enough to see theater many other places than MN).
PEOPLE, STAY IN YOUR SEATS UNTIL THE APPLAUSE IS OVER AND THE ACTORS LEAVE THE STAGE!!!
**sheesh**
Do they think they are at a Twin's game-hopefully they at least stayed for the last act.
kelly90171I haven't noticed the early leavers-but I've noticed that we will give a standing ovation to anything in MN-lost your trousers-we're all standing up and cheering.
