    The best thing about a live
    performance is the sense of
    "presence".  There is defint-ate-ly
    a syn-ener-g-y between the live actors
    (upon "the stage") and the audience  
    (embroiled in "the other stage").

    During a performance of "The Mise-er"
    (by Moll-i-er) the light where the
    miser hid his money fell down.

    He (the actor) quickly quipped, "These houses,
    they don't build them like
    they used to."

               without fear of contra-diction,
               

    THERE WAS LAUGHTER & then there was a-plause.
    (I don't think that there was any apple-saw's
     nor apple sauce (even dis-pensed out in quiet,
     pale-green bowls.
