We went to see a performance today by the 7 Fingers called "Traces" at the New Victory Theater. It was a tremendous multi-media show that combined modern dance, circus arts, the Harlem Globetrotters and the Marx Brothers.
What was more interesting, however, were the announcements that were made before the show started. In complete blackness with the house lights down, a deep and very serious voice made the following announcements over the P.A. system:
"Please remember to turn your cell phone ringers on. You never know who may be trying to reach you.
Please use flash photography so that you can subject the performers to perilous danger.
Food and drink are permitted in all areas of the theater as the staff of the New Victory love to spend the hour after the show cleaning up.
Please use video recorders so that you can share the precious memories of this performance with your loved ones for ever and ever.
Feel free to use the restrooms at any time. You will never know what it is you missed.
There are plenty of emergency exits as you never know what may happen."
Now why didn't I ever think of doing this?
