  2. Could you please turn down the pre performance lights? They were blinding and unpleasant.

    1. Thanks for commenting! The pre-performance lights are a specific artistic choice and we're sorry to hear you found them unpleasant. Though we can't change the lighting for this show, we'll take your feedback into account for future productions.
