Theatre fail

This evening while striking the show downtown we took a break about 7:00. There were 15 or so people sitting in the front row of seats, snacking. I heard a questioning voice from the theatre entrance, which is up several rows of seats. Several of us looked, where there was a girl and her boyfriend- asking about the show. Someone said it had been a matinée. She looked down at her tickets, exclaimed "matinée!" and left hurriedly. She must not have looked at the time on the tickets before!

It was funnier at the time, but picture the entire crew in the middle of taking the set and lights down- ah, you had to be there.
