A strange event happened last week at a theater in Denver. Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert was taken out of a show of Beetlejuice: The Musical. Theater video cameras recorded what happened.
The theater got many complaints about two people in the audience. The people were in seats 1 and 2 of Row E in Orchestra C. They were doing things like vaping, singing loudly, and using their phones. This bothered people sitting near them.
Theater staff went to talk to the people causing issues. The video shows them speaking to Boebert and the person with her. Even after warnings to stop bothering others, Boebert and friend kept arguing. More complaints came about them recording the show. Finally, theater staff firmly told them to leave.
At first Boebert and her companion would not go. A theater official said they were trespassing. He said he would call the police if they didn't leave right away. At that point, Boebert and friend agreed to walk out of the theater voluntarily.
Later, Boebert posted on social media. She admitted laughing and singing too loud during the show. She told people they should see Beetlejuice. Her campaign manager said they didn't know photos were not allowed. He said Boebert likes the arts.
No matter who you are, you need to avoid taking away from others at the theater. This goes double for famous people like Boebert. The video shows the theater handled things professionally. They tried to fix the problem while being calm.
It would have been better to talk it out kindly. But theaters need to think about every audience member having a good time. The video reveals the tricky balancing act of that night.
Let's hope this makes everyone remember to be respectful at the theater. That way the focus stays on the show instead of disturbances.
