I think we picking on her word use, which is her choice. Scary may not be appropriate, perhaps jarring would be a better choice, distracting even especially with so many moving parts, even dangerous. They do have bomb sniffing dogs that check each theatre before performances. There have been threats of violence at shows in the past- I seem to remember a night in the past Groundhog Day and Cats couldn’t leave their theatres due to threats. People are getting shot at Ariana Grande concerts, live performance venues are not safe, it’s sad, but true- and isn’t there a man currently banned from Frozen due to political outbursts. Give her a break, it is her prerogative to use whatever word she’d like to describe the fear or panic she felt in the situation, it’s not entirely her job to alert anyone, there are Ushers for a reason. She may not be Patti or Sara so a lot of folks are attacking her and not praising her for speaking out which is her right to use her platform to speak out and not be attacked. It’s an issue, she’s making a statement, let’s not belittle her thoughts or feelings, the world has enough of that! Besides, if she was a doctor I certainly wouldn’t expect a camera to be with her in the OR- she may not be saving lives but she is bringing joy and escape in trying times and at the end of the day she has the right to a safe work environment.
