Thanks, Nancy
I agree. Take charge! I was beginning to think I was sorta narrow minded
when it came to respecting 'someone else's home' and appreciate your insight
and shared experience. Disgraceful, isn't it? Go eat before or after but
not during, ya know? Thanks.
Okay, there's gotta be more of ya' out there with opinions on both sides.
Fred, is this getting to be one for the Yahoo! group(s)?
Have a great weekend, all, and worship in a house of your choice.
Mark

PS: Lori: I got your reply as well. Your 'twist' on my sig. file made me
cough in my Folgers this morning. ;-) Shame, shame.... Okay, yeah, it was
cute in a tongue-in-cheek sorta way. ;-)

Subject: RE: [NEohioPAL]Food and Drink in the Auditorium
I just wanted to state that in any theatre, outdoor as well as indoor, food
and drink should not be allowed. It is time the administrators of
professional, community, and even school theatre presentations as well as
those by musicians/singers enforce the no food/drink rule across the board.
Not only is it disturbing to those around the individual indulging, but more
importantly, the "accidental" spills of alcohol on others, especially is
appalling!!! Blossom Music Center is a prime example. In the 70's and 80's
food/beverages were not allowed in the pavilion for any performance; today
Blossom provides numerous alcoholic and food booths just outside the
pavilion, openly luring customers to indulge and take it all with them into
the pavilion. I witnessed the outcome of that at a summer concert when the
"accidental spill" occurred because someone became too enthused by the
performer, stood up with drink in hand to sway to the music, and you guessed
it.the individual sitting in front was wearing a beer the rest of the
night!!!

Tammy-
I must agree that this is an annoying norm to some degree. I was at a
concert last night and the two young girls that sat next to our group not
only ate and drank (slurped so loud it made me want to cry... ;-) ) but
took camera-phone pictures during the show. When the concert was over we
went to walk out and.... about stumbled over their 64 ounce 'gulps' and
popcorn boxes left on the floor. Rude to those around them AND expected
someone to clean up after them as they left. When did they have to be back
at 'the home', I wondered to myself?
We also attended OPA's presentation of "Babes In Toyland" (which was great,
by the way Kudos, Angela!) at World View Church (on Rte. 252 in Olmsted
Falls) back in late January. We were told 'no food or drink' in the worship
center/auditorium. A 10 year old, with his parents right in front of me,
was munching a large box of popcorn so loud I wanted to bury his face in it.
Good grief, the parents knew 'the rules' and sat there and let "junior" do
what he wanted. Thankfully he ate it fast and was done by the second act...
As a parent I ensure my family leaves our host's home (and anywhere else we
visit) in as good condition as when we arrived, if not better. The noise of
food and drink during a live performance is not only disrespectful to those
on stage and around you but to the management of the venue you've visited.
Since when does the ticket price include the right to be an "oinker"? ;-)

Thanks, Fred! I feel better now.

I have just come home from a middle school musical production and was
absolutely appalled at the amount of food and drink that was consumed in the
auditorium throughout the performance. I am just curious, is this the trend
in theatre today---eating and drinking as if you are at the movies?
A young lady behind me actually said, "there should be cup holders." I
turned around and said that there shouldn't be an food or drinks and that it
was an auditorium and not a movie theatre! Am I way off base here???
I would be interested to know what is the "norm" in theatres in the
surrounding communities.
Thanks!
