Mean_Mr.Mustard:
OP chiming in again.
We were in the middle of a row. Summoning an usher during a performance would have caused a ruckus affecting many more folks than Doris alone was affecting.
It was a packed house. There were no other seats available. Also, I would have been seated separately from my friends had I moved.
Had I raised the commotion of seeking an usher, nobody in the vicinity whose enjoyment of the performance was disturbed would have blamed Doris.
In short, my inaction was for the greater good (not a Gandhi reference :))
That’s how I was picturing my live theater experience. It would have been very difficult to get up and go to get an usher.
:dubious: Where is this? I have never ever heard of or seen such a thing. If it does exist, it is certainly not in more than a handful of theaters.

AMC has dine in theaters around here. They bring food and drink right to your seat. There is a call button on those seats. That is not the majority of movie theaters around here.
Urbanredneck:
Question for the OP: Did the theater do a “please turn off your phones and refrain from talking” speech or presentation before the show started? I’ve been to many that do this and even remind people that violators will be removed.
I’ve been to plays where infants and children under age 8 are excluded.
Yes. It was actually pretty humorous. The play was “A Bronx Tale”. The announcement prior to the start was a man with a thick Bronx accent stating that if you don’t comply he’s gonna come up there and break your legs.
Ah, so the way I see it, if they didn’t break Doris’s legs, you’re entitled to a refund.
