I actually recently had a very positive interaction with a performer via Facebook. Because I wanted to see a specific actor at a show, I posted on her public page a question regarding her performance schedule, as she was (from what I understand) obligated to let her standby perform twice a month. She very politely posted that she was in fact scheduled to perform the evening for which I bought the tickets. After the show I posted that I enjoyed her performance very much, and she gave a very sweet reply. I would never in a million years try to contact a performer via private means such as FB messenger or e-mail because it seems quite obsessive and also because the information I ask may be relevant to others. I would also never ask to meet someone backstage. The interaction that I had with the performer was cordial and professional. For this, I'm glad performers have public pages, although I agree that some could easily cross the line. Ty
