Your Curated Tumblr Experience Awaits!
yeah its for the actors' and crew's sake, don't come saying it's for attention span, you've already committed to watching a 2+ hour play.
Unpopular theatre opinion: intermissions are bad and I wish we could just have a 2.5 hour performance uninterrupted, like people manage perfectly well at movie theaters. It always just kills my emotional immersion. Set changes and costume changes valid, but the art form could adapt in other ways. Or making the intermission experience somehow also part of the performance? Just something more interesting and intentional than dumping people out into the lobby to buy m&ms.
