2014/15 p24 FALL ARTS GUIDE p20

p28

Congratulations on your recent decision to attend an arts event in this fall. Whether you are interested in theatre, literary events, comedy or film, this user’s manual will guide you in the installation of p31 yourself at a range of theatres, nightclubs and readings. Our guide is organized by genre, but a few important safeguards are in order at the outset. • Use caution when selecting a seat: There are many factors to consider when purchasing tickets. An aisle seat might leave you vulnerable to audience partici- pation. You’ll also want to avoid an ob- p33 structed view. (Sadly, it remains impossible to guarantee that a tall or large-headed person will not select the seat directly in front of you.) • Do not place your tickets in a washing machine. • Do not talk to the actors, dancers or authors: People who perform in public are trained professionals and, generally, have impressive powers of concentration. Still, breaking the fourth wall can be off-putting. p38 • Do not protect against all shocks; some can be quite stimulating. • Drinks are welcome in many venues, but ice cubes should not be shaken like maracas. • Unless specifically encouraged to do so, do not tweet during the performance. Also, jokes using the term “hashtag” are old news. • When grabbing a drink at intermission, p40 do not over-tighten. One is plenty. • To connect: Read our Fall Arts Guide, then grab some tickets.
