SEEKING... the play

Most Fringes have a policy - no latecomers.  Our show started at 11:45 last night and about 2 minutes into the play, we had a latecomer.  We know this because after he tried the door and found it was locked, he pounded and yelled louder than Zach and I were talking on stage.  At first, we tried to improv around him, thinking he'd finally go away, but he kept pounding and yelling.  So, we just stopped and waited on stage, in costume, in the lights.  The techs finally admitted him and his mortified girlfriend.  What else could they do?  But, as you can imagine, the energy was really weird.  No one was sure if something else was going to set him off.  He sat quietly until the end of the show when security informed him that he was no longer welcome at the fringe.  Later, recounting the story, Keira MacDonald (History of Lost and Found and Cocktales) said, "What a compliment.  He really wanted to see your show." Yep.  Guess so.  In any case, I am very grateful to the rest of the audience.  They all stayed and gave us their full attention.  Thank you.
