Through a numbing of the senses brought on by a saturation of media, one may commonly fail to realize the importance of an audience, which is essential to live performance.
How strange it must seem to be a performer on stage before a "live" audience, and to get nothing back from them. Such a passive audience might as well stay home with the pugs.
Experience in front of a live audience is a necessary ingredient for an aspiring actor.
As an audience member who is more than willing to suspend my disbelief, I respect the power of influence that theatre can have over me.
I sense discomfort in some around me when I express a reaction to something on stage. This discomfort is representative of such audience members' inability or unwillingness to believe, even within the confines of the evening, that the characters and events enacted on stage are limited by the capacity of mortal actors performing roles.
