Interesting information, Chuckinca. On a sunnier note, which stars have people seen in plays like this. I mean where you can get a good look at the person performing and are not in a very large auditorium which kind of detracts from the personal connection to the performer? I remember seeing a 10 or so year old Christian Slater in a performance of the Music Man in downtown Reno theater which was not all that large as such theaters go in bigger cities.
