Finally! A Documentary About The WORST Kind Of Theater People! — Page 5

Really she's a small slice of a bigger problem with these seemingly entitled theatergoers who think they can talk, eat , text and disturb other patrons who genuinely want to experience what is going on--on stage and not be distracted by the people around them during the show. They're so un self aware it's amazing. I think a theatre shaming website needs to go up and we can take pictures and video of them. I also blame house management for being too nice. Boot them the hell out.

You can't make that up. I believe Jordan Catalano. A woman like this would most definitely pull silly antics like that.

Still not sure if that was her at Book of Morman but since then I have run into her twice. She's a handful.

Senior citizens can indeed be bullies, especially in groups. From their voting habits to their selfish give me mine but screw yours attitude, time will eventually deal with them--but not soon enough for some.

THANK YOU. I AM VIRTUALLY HUGGING YOU RIGHT NOW.

To be frank, I think she is a lot more mentally capable than she lets on and uses a personal of a mentally disturbed old woman to get her very selfish way. Not that narcissism isn't a mental illness but it's obvious from anyone who has ever been around her that this woman is a narcissist with sociopathic tendencies.

Is this doc posted anywhere to watch, fascinating.

She refused to sit in the seat for which she had a ticket, instead choosing to sit in an (as yet) unclaimed seat in the front row.She got upset when someone with a ticket for that seat arrived just before the show began and she was forced to move. She never ended up in her actual seat; she found another empty seat in the first or second row that she claimed. The house manager was aware of her and didn't really know how to deal with her (neither did the two of us who were volunteer ushers)."

Insisting she move to her assigned seat with her understanding that refusal to do so will subject her to being removed from the theater was not an option available to the house manager or either of you? I understand as a volunteer you might be reluctant to bring the hammer down but the house manager needs to empower you to deal with people like her for the sake of everyone else attending. She counts on people not challenging her and that only emboldens her even more.

Where can we watch it? I don’t see it on iTunes.

This 65 minute documentary is still going thru the European film festival circuit. It has not been officially distributed nor shown in the United States, which is why you can't find it anywhere. It came into attention in February 2016.

Ushers have absolutely NO authority to even suggest that someone can be removed from the theater. House managers have the authority, but due to potential legal issues only reserve it for extremely disruptive or abusive behavior. Someone moving into an empty, unsold seat is not really cause to remove someone from the theater, and the theater owner would probably comp her another ticket if it had happened.

The part I never get about the people who stand outside the theater looking for a free ticket is that you would't just be giving them a ticket, but also then sitting next to them all night. If it were some general admission thing, and someone bailed on me, then sure, have fun. But why would I choose a lady with a bunch of shopping bags as a theater companion for the night rather than just having an empty seat next to me?!
