Many moons ago a friend ran a theatre at a major university. She told me they were showing Rocky Horror, I smiled and said nothing. Show night I showed up with a couple of lady friends. Looks, lots of room at the front Nope, we sitting up here in the nose-bleed.
Soon strangely dressed folks, carrying bags of rice, toast, newspapers, water pistols, toilet paper and there is probably other things. My friend, the manager was in shock. My lady friends were confused.
Then the show started
And Brandon University never played it in the big theatre again
A few years later, they held it in one of the smaller campus theatres and I was chatting outside with a friend when a lady come out, quite indigent that she couldn’t hear the movie, everyone was screaming Slut or boring at the screen.
A few years ago I was in a production of “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” in which (for those familiar with the play) I played Gaston. The director decided to put my table and chair at down left, just behind the curtain. At one point in the story I decided to throw in a Danny Thomas-style spit-take. On opening night the spray was bigger than it had been during rehearsal, and the people in the front row near me got a little wet. On all subsequent performances that area and the row behind it were empty.
It’s doubly funny, then, that the schlamazel in today’s panel is named Bob.

Bob will get to immerse himself in the theater experience.

Bob declined the complementary face shield that came with his ticket.

Actually, clever Bob brought a bag to collect the ingredients for a fairly interesting gazpacho.

Can someone explain why all the men have to wear checkered suits to go to this event? Just asking for a friend…

He does. With live theater you must sit close, if you want to get the full impact. :)
