Thanks all. I am planning to contact the theater. If they want to keep an eye out they can, if not they won't but it can't hurt. I guess I'll write them a letter since I'm not sure how else to get ahold of them? I would think they'd have email but I can't find anything online.
Hopefully if this happens to others they will trust their gut and speak up. I wish I would have.

I'm really sorry this happened to you, ChiTheaterFan. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. It's so common when things like this happen to women, that we second-guess ourselves. I know I have. By sharing what happened, you are putting other women on alert about this, and if it happens to them, they will be more quick to act and speak up. And letting the theater know, hopefully will result in them keeping a more vigilant eye on the crowd.
It's this kind of thing that is SO hard to do anything about. I'm sure it's near impossible to tell by watching what is going on - lots of people get too close on these situations. And when someone does speak up, or likely even just move away, the perpetrator simply walks away before anything can be done.
Good for you for speaking up to us, it both can help another, and I hope it's helped you.

Guys, this guy is still doing this. The same exact experience that was described here happened to me recently at the stage door at Something Rotten and it was the exact same guy (he matches the description). I was in denial about it like you were but, reading this thread, I guess it confirms what happens. Also I'm 16. Definitely scary to me...maybe I won't be stage dooring again anytime soon...

Wow, disgusting...I hope you were able to notify someone while at the stage door at Something Rotten. My younger sister, also 16, stage doors shows regularly, as do many others at that age and younger. Please speak up, everyone. This sicko needs to be kept away.

Yeah I wish I had read this thread beforehand so that I knew it was the same guy but, like OP, I basically was in denial about it (especially since it was really crowded space) so I didn't notify anyone. I sincerely hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else.

Ugh, I'm sorry this happened to you...I totally understand. But thanks for sharing here, hopefully it'll help others be more aware and alert as to what "too close" really is.
