| I had a trying time at Plaid Tidings last night. The show was great. But an infant was not only permitted into the theater, the family had the front row on the aisle. Guess who cried and screamed in her mother's arms for the entire second act? Correct. Audience members stared at each other in disbelief. The son was no bargain either. He constantly raised his arms above his head, then scratched his head and shoulders. At other times, his restless leg and arm spilled over to bang his neighbor, who had to constantly nudge him off. Many people complained at the end that the infant was inappropriate. Merry Christmas indeed. | |

| Yes it was outrageous and she did nothing to stop her from talking and carrying on. She should have gotten up and left. So distracting and she was in the first row. Did you notice how fast she got out after the show before the audience got a chance to leave. She didn"t want to deal all of us. Don't bring a child into the theatre that young. I know she was annoying the actors too. Had a great time at the sh ow and catch if you can before it closes. | |

| The actors were visibly peeved! A perfect improv opportunity, especially given the type of show PT is. But they refused to bite. House mgr was totally clueless. Who allows infants to an expensive show, and parks them in the front row to boot?! The artistic director had his fly open for the talk back, which was completely fitting. Your companion wore the massive hat, right? | |

| I feel they were patrons or good financial supporters of the York Theatre. That's why no one in charge acted on this annoyance. Sorry twocents that you had to put up with this situation. | |

| Tx, Final. It was Member Night. But they were comped as guests of York from the Spectrum School. It's nice to get autistic special ed kids in. But that flailing limbs kid needed an aisle seat at the very least. Given the infant in tow, the whole family should have been shown the last row. Epic fail, Yorkies! Why ruin a show for three people when you can ruin it for a hundred? | |
