...theatre, stocked with lots of multimedia gadgets. In an area where small groups like The Proposition and the Caravan Theatre operate in garages or church basements, and where even resident professional companies like the Charles Playhouse are forced into cramped, patchwork constructions, The Light Company's spacious, well equipped auditorium is an unique luxury. All Leven needed was a hit show and he would be well on his way to filling in the remaining parts of his building...
This tension was made very real to me at the Saturday midnight showing of "The Chase," a Marlon Brando film involving racial violence in an East Texas town. Everyone came into the auditorium singing ("Up with People" was on the loudspeakers) and dancing in their seats. The black students, with one or two exceptions, went up to the balcony where they usually sit together. Anyone who thinks the Brattle unique should go to Antioch to find real audience participation: for the first half hour we couldn't hear the lines for all the calls (mainly "Do it in the road...
Bucher rehearsed Pueblo's tragic odyssey before a panel of five admirals in the stark auditorium of the Naval Amphibious Base at Coronado, Calif.

Someone mentioned that the audience might leave. "Let them!" Tucker roared. "They must...
Volcanic Activity? At their press conference in the State Department auditorium, the astronauts gave a performance almost as remarkable as their feats in space. As they took turns explaining features on their moon pictures and answering the questions of newsmen, they were articulate, gently humorous and impressively well-informed about lunar geology. Anders avoided taking sides in the controversy over whether the moon's features are of primarily volcanic or meteoric origin. He reported seeing what seemed to be lava flows and cinder cones, and said that photographs of the back side of the moon revealed "anamolous dark regions...
