[NEohioPAL] AUDIENCE ETIQUETTE

Mon Sep 29 11:01:39 PDT 2008

Only one thing can be worse, being down at the Justice Center with the acrid smell of crack coming out of the Defendant's pores much like the way alcoholics are like.  For years, I wondered what kind of after shave or something that was until a woman smelled like that and I knew that wasn't after shave.  Horrid.

Oh my, at first I thought, "I don't remember smelling anyone over bearing before", until yesterday, in our receiving line of "Caroline or Change", a nice little old lady, wanted to hug and give long comments about her love of the show, I couldn't hold my breath long enough, and since she had my hand, I couldn't cover my nose.  So what DO you say to those that are perfumed challenged?--- On Mon, 9/29/08, Mark A. Levigne <mark at levignefamily.org> wrote:

Good grief…  I have to Amen to that as I’d spent many a Sunday morning in the choir loft with a wonderful group of olfactoraly (is that a word?!) challenged but very nice older ladies who practically bathed in whatever they had in the ‘spray bottle thingy’.  Kudos to those who can make “the show go on”….

I second that emotion, Deb!

My heart goes out to you, Anthony, but imagine how actors and singers feel, when their throats close up due to some other cast or crew member's less sensitive olfactory system?  And not just perfumes, but those who come in reeking of cigarette smoke can send a singer's sinuses into a major tizzy.  The offenders don't know they're being offensive - even when told so, they don't really believe it.

Does anyone have a suggestion for politely dealing with the aroma challenged audience members? Last night (Spet.27) at the Beck performance of Urinetown we hit a new sensory overload level. The scent managed to get past the doors of the light booth and upstairs rest rooms. Hopefully it was not an expensive cologne, because it smelled like Vitalis (mens' hair product from the 60's) by the time it wafted upstairs. This was the second attack in three weekends. How do we deal with someone who is affecting the performance?How can theaters make the audience more aware of the need for clean air? Being a somewhat cynical geek, I'd place exhaust fans at the back exits so the audience can enjoy the latest fashion scents with their show.Anthony WeisharDisclaimer: I'm not an asthmatic, just a light guy.
