For my girlfriend's birthday, I took her to see a preview performance of "Singing Forest" at the Intiman. I was nervous that it was a preview, so I asked over and over again, "will this be just like a normal performance?" "Of course", I was assured, "no one in the audience can tell the difference." When I get there, I'm told they haven't yet memorized all their lines and will be holding scripts. Okay, but I'm dressed up already and they're professionals, how bad could it be? Horrible. I paid to see a dress rehearsal. And when I complained, they told me I was just trying to get a free ticket out of them. The play was also horrible, but that's beside the point.
