| Did the Rudin shows allow durable, reusable water bottles? My memory is that they did. | |

| For years I was allowed to bring a small mug into the theater as long as it was empty and clean. I never hid it. I would always show it to the door guard before entering and then keep it in my jacket pocket. One time (I don't remember the show or theater) I was not allowed to have it with me in the theater so I had to check it with someone and then get it back after the show. My routine was to arrive at the theater maybe 45 minutes before showtime, drink a mug of coffee outside, clean and dry it before entering the building, and then at intermission (if I was thirsty) get some water from the drinking fountain and have a few swallows before act 2. Beginning in 2011 (when I switched from hotels to airbnb) I usually stayed at a guy's apartment close to the theater, drank my coffee at his place, and then hustled over to the theater, arriving maybe 15 minutes before showtime. I rarely (if ever) bought any food or drink at the theater with the exception of maybe a roll of candy. Are bottles of water no longer sold at the bar or was that practice discontinued years ago? |

| One time it was “no outside food or drink, period” and another time I saw them try to confiscate someone’s durable water bottle saying “you can’t have anything that could be used as a weapon.” One time (The Front Page) we were told “Nathan Lane doesn’t like the water bottles crinkling when he acts” (never mind that the candy they sell makes 5X as much noise); but when we saw “Gary”, suddenly Nathan Lane apparently had no trouble with plastic water bottles, but because “it’s a short show” they basically came right out and said that the producer wanted us to buy his water. Enough already. This water nonsense is a drop in the bucket (no pun intended) of the myriad issues people have with Rudin, to say nothing of what’s going on in the world as a whole. But this is one time where if cancel culture is coming for the guy, it sounds like it’s long overdue, and in this instance I’m totally here for it. |
