My mom was pretty upset about peoples attire as well. One thing that bothered me a lot was the eating, why is food and drink allowed? Why am I constantly hearing the wrinkling of a popcorn bag. For sure ruins the magic of the theatre

Oh for that I think it’s alright because people by food at the theatre and they do get hungry I think that might be a little extreme and I’m not talking about movie theatres I’m talking about theatre theatres

It’s not a waste of money! You should know you make good outfits! And second of all I care because I was brought up in a family that respected etiquette

Etiquette is not being distracting and watching the show it has nothing to do with what you wear, fundamentally. And it is a waste of money because they’re never going to wear the shitty poorly fitting clothes ever again

Etiquette includes dress code. They actually will wear them again! It’s super easy because people go to events where they have to dress up all the time!

Anonymous OP 1d

Yeah and for people who wear jeans as their dress up, they can wear jeans to every other place

It’s not fucking hard and you don’t need to keep buying new clothing for it

Disgrace it??? This is the most elitist conversation I’ve ever had in my entire life wtf

Anonymous OP 1d

So I am? I literally said broadway😭 Growing up food and drink was not allowed inside the auditorium, I think it should still be that way. most shows are under 3 hours, get a meal before or after or a snack during intermission🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s not elitist because people probably already have atleast one nice outfit just wear it

Theatre etiquette is an artifact from the bourgeoisie in France keeping the working class out of their recreations so I think any reasonable non-degenerate wouldn’t care how someone is dressed so long as it’s not distracting when you’re not even supposed to be looking at them in the first place

1

Anonymous lightbluehater 1d

And it’s evolved into being respectful of the theatre and people in the working class are able to afford nice enough outfits now so it’s not hard to respect the rules

“Respectful of the theatre” means don’t smell

Anonymous lightbluehater 1d

Respectful of the theatre means dress up to respect it and also respect others around you and the actors

Anonymous OP 1d

There are many aspects to respecting the theatre not just the smell of a person

Anonymous OP 1d

Yeah by not smelling; just because a rule is “easy to follow” doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be a real reason for the rule to exist

Anonymous lightbluehater 1d

There is a real reason for the rule to exist and it must be followed
