Regarding being appreciative of the talent.

In no way am I being demeaning of anyone who attends various venues at the Savannah Center, but you ARE a customer. You should understand what it is like being a
performer at this facility. I have been only a few times to large facilities such as Radio City or Carnegie Hall. You cannot compare the two.
But when you are nickel and dimed to death (example: when we have a concert, we actually have to rent the chairs to sit on during a performance). Even though TV is taking a percentage of the door gate, they want more. Plus they charge for the lighting, sound, etc people. That is not included in the performace package either.
All that is needed is to look a bit south to the Bob Carr Theatre Group in Orlando. It also is not perfect, but is much better organized and run than Savannah Center.

Neat bumper sticker. Went like this: "It's God's job to judge terrorists. Our job is to arrange the meeting!"

Be a gentleman, remove your hat/cap when entering a building and dining out!
