Recently I went to see a play at an Off-ÂBroadway theatre that I love, a production I found remarkably profound. I was in town for only a day, and redeye jetlag fatigue or not, I was going to the show if I could find an affordable ticket. What I didn’t predict was that the show would lead to a confrontation with microaggressions and white privilege. Turns out the social conflict wasn’t just happening on the stage.
I got to the box office and asked the staff if they had any discounts. The price that they offered wasn’t low enough for me to afford that evening. (My recent playwright award check hadn’t been received yet, okay?)

The only time I experienced when I was foolish enough to go see a Spike Lee movie. There is fun rowdy when I saw “Independence Day” at a big movie theater in Manhattan. People were clapping and hooting at the right moments.
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
New York is a gun-control paradise.
People like that author are the reason I rarely go to the theatre or even movies. I end up so annoyed at other patrons that I can’t enjoy the show. At the last Broadway show I went to, the guy in back of me was eating something crunchy from a cellophane bag. If I’m on a bus, the crinkly bag and the noisy chomping would be a mild irritant but, at a show, I want to be able to suspend disbelief and be brought into the world the show is creating - and not be brought back to reality every few minutes by the people around me. There are parts of shows where the majority of the audience might chuckle, gasp, clap, or laugh. But the author was apparently the only one behaving this way - she’s altogether too full of herself.
‘And now we see why some leftists like ‘gun control’. They themselves are bubbling cesspools of irrational rage. They project their own mental, moral, and spiritual deficiencies on the rest of us. ‘
VERY true!!
I wish I hadn’t wasted time reading it.

I stopped reading it halfway through. I’m in no mood to hurl.
I give it away freely. I hope one day to hear Mark Levin or Chris Plante use the phrase. It will confirm what I suspect.
What an insufferable woman.
I’ve noticed that when blacks complain about whites, it’s crap like this. “She told me to keep it down in the theater and not make so much noise.” But what do whites suffer at the hands of blacks? Everything from the “knockout game” to beatings, rapes, and murders. Somehow I just don’t think blacks’ experiences compare to that! When blacks complain as much about heinous black-on-white crimes as they do their petty little problems with “rude” white people, maybe then I will begin to have sympathy for them.
Welcome to this evening’s episode of “Grudge Hunters.” Tonight. On the Victim Channel.
Maybe the fault is really the theatre director. Shouldn't he or she have pointed out to the audience before the show that call and response was welcome?
Was everyone in the audience just supposed to know that?
Sounds more like egotistical experimentalist theatre director privilege to me.
Yes she is. But she feeeeeeels that she is intelligent, sophisticated, witty, and urbane. And she is possessed of WEDS (White Envy Derangement Syndrome) and carries around a chip on her shoulder bigger than her head. That makes it all the funnier when she reveals her true inner ghetto nature.
I just can’t stop laughing after reading that article. Hilarious, absolutely hilarious.
so you stand in line demanding a discount, and when someone offers you tickets, do you offer to buy them at your preferred discount? no, you whine until they give them to you for free.
then you thank them by disrupting their enjoyment of the show, and end up about to assault them.
it’s people like you who bite the hands that feed you that set race relations back.
Well...they are murdering each other in record numbers.
We never had these problems before 1861.
Exactly. Didja notice how she caught the eye of the lead actor (allegedly) and not only did she become a part of the show but she became (in her mind at any rate) the central focus of the production.
Hilarious.
Our Mrs. Renolds she ain’t.
I don’t even go to movie theaters anymore because blacks ruin the experience....So I guess I am a racist.
So, she almost “chimped out”? ;-)
The comments after the article are very good... which I’m sure this self-absorbed author will consider microaggressions of some sort.
