When I first read dramedy's post, I thought he meant the paying audience, who had bought a ticket for a McNally play, was offered $500K to see the play in a different theater. I was trying to make sense of that statement until I realized he was referring to the play about Queen Elizabeth The Audience, which I did actually see. I was pretty sure no one had ever made that generous offer to me. Anyway, the confusion gave me a good laugh on this nondescript Tuesday morning.

That would have made it crystal clear.

Yes. Teaching assistants are woefully underpaid. I am glad to hear they got a half million extra.

I suppose you're joking, but the misunderstanding began when you didn't capitalize "audience" in this sentence:

"The audience was offered $500k to move to a different theater to allow McNally play to stay put."

A simple typo, no doubt, but it took me a minute to figure it out.

No problem. It was fine that you spelled it out. It only took me a minute to understand your meaning.

LOL I read it that way too. My mind went to theaters now operating like airlines, offering money to change flights.
