How I learned the difference between love and respect at my first Broadway show.

We arrived to the theater about 30 minutes before the show was scheduled to start, so I began talking to the girls seated in front of us. They seemed very lovely, and smart. They laughed at…

All this is true. Leaving before the end of the show unless it’s an emergency is a very disrespectful gesture. Actually, it’s completely against audience etiquette. That was one of the first things I learned when I started acting.
