Theatre Audiences Need Manners Lessons

<p>The thing is as the mother of an actor and the sister of a cellist, I just feel bad for the performers. They work so hard and to have people being disrespectful by texting and talking… And then for those of us enjoying the performance its equally annoying. I hate it when someone’s very loud vibrating phone keeps going off and they ignore it like its going to go away. Ugh.</p>

<p>I can imagine what may also be going through the actors minds is “Are they videotaping me for You Tube?” When you see the sheer number of pirate videos clearly made by cell phones on You tube, you can understand why the actors would be concerned.</p>
