Do people attending plays & musicals have a moral obligation to the performers to try to stay awake?

11. One's view of this probably depends on how much stage time one has had.

That kind of thing burns if you've been there, done that.

If you're doing your job and shining your light, it feels like a personal slight. Primate thing, I suppose.

It's why live theater and music is sooooooo tough. Thick skin required.

I find bad theater even more interesting than good. I watch the performers, think about their lives.
