A Time to Perform in October By Kaye Osborn
Going to the theater to see a live performance is one of my favorite activities. My husband and I support local productions as well as out-of-town. We attend musicals, vocal and instrumental concerts, comedy shows, poetry readings, and dramatic presentations. The audience provides energy for the performers. Audience members should be quiet, attentive, and responsive. Be mindful and respectful of the people around you and the stage performers. Do not text, take photos only when given permission, spill over the armrest, or chat with your neighbor! And if anyone asks you to please be quiet, do not take it personally! I imagine comedians tolerate hecklers and learn how to deal with their outbursts. Do some research about the show you will see, especially comedians to make sure you will find them entertaining. Some comedians are G rated while others are R rated. Now, let’s get on to what will be showing in October.
