There are some performances that stay in your memory for decades, the performance i attended yesterday was not among those. While i understand that performance art is not traditional theater, per se, i found the actors often paying more attention to their props than clearly delivering their lines, and while one individual could barely be described as performing a dance, overall the rest of the members of the cast seemed more intent on barely observing things or preforming a strange dance around a randomly selected audience members. i'm also not quite certain what the enthrallment is regarding footwear. The production was thankfully short, however i'm well aware of these shows lasting nearly an hour. i also understand that these modern interpretation pieces may not feature as many song and dance numbers as the classic, traditional theater pieces (and probably goes a great deal into explaining the blue gloves), overall it was hard to find a single smile or any other form of entertained expression anywhere in the audience.
Which, considering the ticket prices, and the fact that attendance is mandatory, is truly a crime.
By and large, i'd highly recommend avoiding the cast and crew of "TSA Security Line" at the San Francisco Airport. i've seen better performed renditions of Our Town by third graders.
Lately I tend to go to the Off-Runway version in a little known corner of Terminal 1. For whatever reason, it seems to go better there than the bigger venues. Tickets are available from Horizon/Alaska, NWA, and a few others, but not Ticketmaster. Parking is better, too, but… the seating and showtimes suck.
