DontPikMe field notes
How DontPikMe reads theatre danger
Book normal assigned seats away from aisles. Rear-center is the introvert business-class cabin.
- Scripted proscenium theatre is usually low participation.
- Immersive, promenade, dinner, or site-specific productions can erase the safe distance.
- Aisle seats and premium close-up seats can put you inside the action even when the show is mostly scripted.
