Dear Constant Reader,
Happy Friday! It’s lovely out today and we are just over one week away from Isle of Tease at Deacon Giles! Do you have your tickets? We’ve got some great new acts for you!
This week’s tip is for audience members and I’m sorry I’ve got to give it.
Stay off the stage.
I know that seems obvious, but you’d be surprised.
I have definitely been in shows where security has had to keep patrons from joining the show. I’m glad you’re inspired, but the performers are the ones here to entertain the audience.
I remember one not-sober college student becoming so besotted with Dominique that she ran on stage and tried to hug Dominique in the middle of her act. Dominique gently led her to the side of the stage where someone took charge of her. That’s a bit disruptive, but not dangerous. Although sometimes it can be dangerous.
What sparked this tip was video I saw recently of Lavendelle, one of my Stripper’s Holiday compatriots. As she stood on a folding chair in her platform stilettos, facing the back of the stage, someone came up and smacked her on the ass. There are so many things wrong with that. Not only is it potentially assault (maybe even sexual assault), she was certainly not expecting it and could have lost her careful balance and been injured.
Please note, I’m not talking about when audience members are invited onto the stage. Sometime a volunteer is needed for something or it’s someone’s birthday and they’re going to be celebrated. That’s done with everyone’s consent.
