Those performances (which cost less to attend) are actually still rehearsals, so the director is always there, often giving notes to an assistant. We find patrons often enjoy coming to previews because they get to be more intimately involved in the creation process. We really appreciate this feedback, though...we try our best not to disrupt the preview audience experience, even though they're seeing a work in progress!Seattle Repertory Theatrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03778240657038924137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101345285149793414.post-76964957793694588672007-10-03T17:36:00.000-07:002007-10-03T17:36:00.000-07:00As longstanding season ticket holders we will be s...As longstanding season ticket holders we will be seeing Twelfe Night soon, however it was distressing to hear in a recent review on opening night that the director sat in the audience and spoke so loudly while dictating notes to an assistant that they were disturbing patrons of the play 10+ rows away.<BR/><BR/>We have always endeavored to be respectful of the cast and other audience members near us, why was this basic dictum not observed by THE DIRECTOR ? I can not imagine past rep Artistic Director/Producer Sullivan being that inconsiderate of the audience or his actors.<BR/><BR/>-- Mark Early & Aloise Bates<BR/>SeattleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
