I would like to dedicate my very first post to the theatre. I have lived, loved, learned and left the theatre and I can't tell you how many people annoyed me whether I was on, behind or in front of the stage. So, cheers to the theatre and to all of those I love that are still involved.
Common Sense Tip #1-Hats and High Hair NOT Allowed
I cannot tell you the number of times I have sat behind someone with a hat on. I don't care that you are a cowboy, or a baseball fan or forgot to shower or feel the need to 'get dressed' for the show. I can't see behind your hat. I did not pay good money to see the back of your cowboy hat or sun hat.
On the same path, I know a lot of women who feel as though the higher their hair, the better. I'll tell you what, take it off during the show. I don't care how much you spent on your bouf, extensions or beehive, take it off.
Let's recap. People do not pay good money so you can obstruct their view with your hat or hair. Take it off, put it down and leave it. If you need to reattach during Intermission, then please feel free, but for every one else's sake, take it off during the performance.

Not that I had a hat or high hair, I just remember the time I had a yellow shirt on and we were in the theater and the lady behind us made a comment to her friend about how she had to sit behind "big bird" all of act 1. Don't know if you remember that. :) Guess my height got in the way.
ReplyDeleteI sure do remember that, haha....guess we can't do anything about height. Can't really take that off, haha.
ReplyDeleteTall people should be mindful of their height as well and try to sit on the outside aisle seat if in the center section. Or...try to sit a little lower in their chair. And I'm 6'.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the hat pic w/ this entry more than anything!! lol
Unfortunately we live in a world where these "common sense" tips aren't so "common". I mean, why on earth do we need to hear the voice of god tell us to shut off our cell phones!!!! DUH!! I understand however, there are many people out there who need a little reminder. So, for the love of god...listen...turn of cell phones and take your party hats off!!!! Great blogs!! :)
