Oh No, Performers Coming Into Audience
PITTSBURGH - Audience members at the Benedum Center for the Performing Arts are reporting that, oh God, no, approximately 20 extremely enthusiastic actors are approaching the edge of the stage and appear determined to continue their current musical number in the main seating area.

"Oh, man, are they? Shit," one audience member was overheard saying as the energetic ensemble began filing down previously unseen stairs and past the front row. "Shit, shit, shit."

Increasingly uncomfortable audience sources have also confirmed that the performers are proceeding down the aisle with crisp, larger-than-normal steps timed perfectly to the music. Even more shocking, some appear intent on interacting with non-cast members.


I caught Will Ferrell's live show George W. Bush: You're Welcome America and it was hilarious. Surprised at how much audience interaction there was. At one point he'd ask audience members their name and occupation and give them a nickname. One guy had a big beard so Ferrell nicknamed him China Grove.
