| When you think you can't come across a more bizarre thread and then another shows up. This brings self entitlement to a whole other level. But - if you objected to my opinions on the other thread, this time I'm with you. Such entitlement. First, people are deeply offended if the stars don't show up to sign after every show. Now we want to require them to have wonderful penmanship. Frankly, if I'm able to meet actors after a show, getting to talk with them a bit is much more meaningful to me. Finding a fun question or two to ask them about the show. Just being able to say that I'm thrilled to get to meet them and to thank them for the performance. What's more memorable, ultimately - the chance to connect with someone you admire, or having them put their name on a piece of paper? I tend to think you'll remember and value the connection much more than them simply putting the name their parents gave them on a crumpled program that's just going to go into a box somewhere. I won't say I've never asked for autographs. But I haven't done that in a long while. The way I think of it now, it's more of a self-gratification thing. It's not really about the actor at all, it's about validating the audience experience. It's - "I paid all that money to see the star, and now I have the signature to prove it." Rather demeaning to the actor, I tend to think sometimes. Not intentionally so, but so. But even if not - if the actor is happy to sign your program, great. Believe me, the last thing on their mind is making sure every last signature is perfect. They just gave you a whole evening of hard work onstage. Isn't that enough??? I stand by this opinion and I am not apologizing for it. |
