There are many ways an inconsiderate seatmate can ruin a theater experience. The Middle Schoolers explored many of these during their production of “Appropriate Audience Behavior” by Ian McWethy. Piper and Dylan were the unlucky theater patrons who changed seats several times while trying to enjoy a production of Macbeth. Somehow they always found themselves next to people who didn’t understand theater etiquette. Laughter during a comedy is entirely appropriate however, and this show had the audience in stitches.
Many thanks to director, Katrien Vance; our host, Rapunzel’s Books & Coffee; and Coe Sweet Photography for capturing the moments and expressions!
