I, for one, don't mind telling everyone that I HATE IT.

You know what I'm talking about? Like Tina & Tony's Wedding, Aunt Sylvia's Funeral, that kinda crap where the actors come out into the audience and bug you?

Or like when you used to have to watch the glee club perform in grade school and they'd come out in the audience and make you sing with them? Oh GOD, I dreaded that shit.

I don't even like going to concerts where the lead singer points a microphone at the audience and makes us sing (YA HEAR ME, PRINCE?!).

I feel like, sheesh, *I* paid to see *YOU* perform. What's this shit with you coming out and soliciting *ME* to entertain people? To hell with that, lazy-asses! That's YOUR job! That, or give me a cut of the damn ticket sales for the night!

I think I'm just going to start a new genre called INTERACTIVE LITERATURE where I write half a damn book and then say "hey, since you're having so much fun reading this, why don't you just go ahead and finish it up for me?" WON'T THAT BE FUN?!?

To summarize, and to paraphrase Kirstie Alley: INTERACTIVE THEATRE IS ASS.

I just had to get that off my chest. Thank you, that is all.

My sister attended the Rocky Horror Picture Show movie and she told me it was interactive and it was fun.

I have only seen the movie on tv..

A group of 20 people turned Revenge of the Sith into an interactive experience at the theatre I went to go see it in here in Tampa.

They had me laughing so hard, I almost overlooked to horrible acting, childish dialouge, and comical psuedo-tension. ... almost.

okay, maybe i was a little loose with my wording with regards to "interactive theatre".

maybe it's better if i say "AGGRESSIVE FASCIST interactive theatre". i love shouting stuff at movie screens, as long as everyone in the theater knows it's that kind of party.

Looks like this thread is not interactive

Yes, boo--I know exactly what you're talking about.

I was at Busch Gardens eating in their large theatre/cafeteria, and the were had a very talented group of singers performing hits from the 60/70/80/ and 90s.
But here's where it got scary, A-dog.
They did this sonny and cher thing were a girl dressed like share comes out and drags someone on stage with her to sing to him. I kept thinking, bitch better not walk my way.

So, yes, Schnookems, I know exactly what you're talking about.

I get shy in large groups so I hate that kinda stuff....I always start sweating if I think they're gonna come my way and put a spotlight on me....

I will actually get up and leave.

so will i!

though usually i start giving the performers stink-eye as they're waddling in my direction, and they usually tend to turn their happy asses right back around to go pick on some poor old lady a few rows down or something.

I just sit there dreading the possibility of being brought to the center of attention....

Anxiety said:

The stink eye!!!!!


I don't do that. I just leave. It's not worth making them feel bad, but I sure as hell don't feel like being turned into one of the Van Trap family singers for what would feel like an eternity of ridicule vieled as thunderous applause.

I guess you have the midASS touch.

I'm eating Tom Yam Plaamook.

Who is he?

And why does he have an Anglo first name?

Fauxie said:

why don't you just eat ME, threadjacker!

AsianBoi777 said:

it IS worth making them feel bad! i want to invent a button that people can wear to these kinds of shows that say "just watching, not performing" or maybe just "LMTFA"...or maybe i can bring the "no bozos" button back into vogue.

AsianBoi777 said:

You are such a DORK!



I gave you less credit than this kind of material though, if I'm honest.
