Ten Commandements for Audience Behavior
(Originally printed in Stagebill at Lincoln Center)
We are, for the worse, living in an age of noise. We are so accustomed to the noise of machinery everywhere, and the prevalence of recorded music and other sounds, that many deliberately make noise themselves or plug into it to feel “normal.” Since it is possible to have music or watch television at home while eating and talking, too many take such behavior with them to public places.
The concert, opera, ballet, theater, and movie experiences should be something very special. That is why a thoughtful silence is required for communal performing events. “To experience anything individually, we must still bear in mind those around us.” In an age of thoughtless, selfish, ego-centered behavior, the arts can thrive only in an atmosphere of generosity and enlightened selflessness.
Artists and speakers love being appreciated. They adore applause, but they also are grateful for quiet, attentive audiences.
I. THOU SHALT NOT TALK
The first and greatest commandment. Stay home if you aren’t in the mood to give full attention to what is being performed on stage.
II. THOU SHALT NOT HUM, SING OR TAP FINGERS OR FEET
The musicians don’t need your help, and your neighbors need silence. Learn to tap toes quietly within shoes. It saves a lot of annoyance to others, and is excellent exercise to boot.
III. THOU SHALT NOT ANSWER THY CELL PHONE
Kindly take a moment to silence your cell phones and pagers. There are few acts more rude than taking a call that can clearly wait until intermission or after the show.
IV. THOU SHALT NOT CRACK THY GUM IN THY NEIGHBOR’S EARS
The noise is completely inexcusable and usually unconscious. The sight of otherwise elegant ladies and gentlemen chewing their cud is one of today’s most revolting and antiaesthetic experiences.
V. THOU SHALT NOT WEAR LOUD-TICKING WATCHES OR JANGLE THY BANGLES
Owners are usually immune, but the added percussion is disturbing to all.
VI. THOU SHALT NOT OPEN CELLOPHANE-WRAPPED CANDIES
Next to talking, this is the most general serious offense to auditorium peace. If you have a bad throat, unwrap your throat-soothers between acts or musical selections. If caught off guard, open the sweet quickly. Trying to be quiet by opening wrappers slowly only prolongs the torture for everyone around you.
VII. THOU SHALT NOT SNAP OPEN AND CLOSE THY PURSE
This problem used to apply only to women. But today, men often are equal offenders. Leave any purse, glasses case or what-have-you unlatched during the performance.
VIII. THOU SHALT NOT SIGH WITH BOREDOM
If you are in agony, keep it to yourself. Your neighbor may be in ecstasy — which also should be kept quiet, too.
IX. THOU SHALT NOT READ OR RUSTLE YOUR PROGRAM
This is a less antisocial sin than personal deprivation. In ballet or drama, it is usually too dark to read, but in concerts it is typical for auditors to read program notes, skim ads and whatever. Don’t! To listen means just that. Notes should be digested before or after the performance. It may, however, be better for those around you to read instead of sleeping and snoring.
X. THOU SHALT NOT ARRIVE LATE OR LEAVE EARLY
It is unfair to artists and the public to demand seating when one is late or to fuss, apply make-up and depart early. Most performances have scheduled times; try to abide by them.
