"It was also a real "fuck you" to a nonprofit company whose audience is predominately older and white ... so we should be shamed for buying tickets and seeing the show?"

So on a theater board, you claim that being asked to stand on stage so you can be looked at is shaming?

Are you joking? I was grinning like an idiot ... it was cool to be standing on the stage at TFANA! It was probably less cool for the seventy year-old white audience members who have loyally been subscribing to a theatre company that is now asking them to stand up and walk up to the stage (or take an elevator, as some of the crew pointed out - give me a break).

That speaks more to my point, however, that the moment failed for me. I had zero emotional attachment to any of the characters - white or black - and felt no guilt as a collective audience for my behavior at the show because we had no connection to any of the preceding action. I knew the show would be over faster if we moved faster, and that was about it.

So it was not a fuck you, but something enjoyable?
