Proctors: No popcorn for you!
January 9, 2012 at 6:02 pm by Steve Barnes, senior writer
A popcorn fiend, I like to enjoy a bag of it during events at the Palace Theatre and Times Union Center in Albany, and, previously, at Proctors in Schenectady. During Saturday night’s Jim Gaffigan performance, however (my review is here), I noticed the sign at right, placed in front of the dark popcorn machine at Proctors.
After never serving popcorn at live events, Proctors introduced it some years back. But, CEO Philip Morris tells me, a recent, small but noticeable swell of complaints about noise and distraction during performances prompted the launching of an educational effort called Great Audiences. Rather than include a list of no-nos, the campaign stresses behaviors exhibited by theater patrons who are considerate of fellow audience members and of the artists on the stage.
Popcorn was the noisiest and most frequently cited of bothersome food items, Morris says. (It was never a problem for cleaning crews.) Thus popcorn was banned from being sold at live Proctors performances except those aimed at children. It’s still available for movies. The theater also changed the stock of candy and other snacks available from its concession stands to eliminate noisy plastic packaging.
What do you think: Continue the Proctors popcorn ban or bring it back?

ban the popcorn and ban the nayboobs |
| “And yet our opponents tell us not to interfere with abortion. They tell us not to impose our morality on those who wish to allow or participate in the taking of the life of infants before birth. Yet no one calls it imposing morality to prohibit the taking of life after a child is born. We’re told about a woman’s right to control her own body. But doesn’t the unborn child have a higher right, and that is to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?” – Ronald Reagan |

Complaining about popcorn? What about the bum pissing on the sidewalk at the bus stop? The carnival you can see walking from the parking garage to Proctors is more entertaining than their shows.  |
