Good thought Tax-chick and the shame of it is, this artist used to do just that. He would have an afternoon concert for FREE to any school that wished to bring a group. Last week he just left and went home.

My niece's ballet troupe performs Nutcracker each year - one performance is a free matinee for schoolkids. It's a pretty big deal; live orchestra and all.

This year, during the Sugar Plum Fairy sequence, the house lights went up and the entire audience of hundreds got up and left! Just like that.

When queried, the school-union dolts told the producers that time was up - they had to get the kids back for their free subsidized lunches and to avoid breaking teacher-union work rules. The company continued playing to a 98%-empty house and everyone associated with the production was pretty pissed off.

Can you believe this crap? Ungrateful wretches. I told them to tell the idiots to Foff next year, but they're worried about making the city mad. Feh.

My grandkids go to a small school. They put different groups together for plays at Christmas. Tue. K3 was first. When they finished the 6th and 7th graders started to the stage. A bunch of people began walking out and continued as they started their performance. I thought this was rude. They were just kids. I was there for K3 but stayed thru theirs.

Wow, do you realize how lucky these idiots are that we have no laws against stupidity?
