I had great respect for the company as a whole, but when I heard what sounded like noise coming from the lobby during R&G my respect started to diminish. Because I only heard it (or mostly heard it) when the "Hamlet" cast wasn't on the stage, often soon after they left the stage, I had made an assumption that it was them. My companions also thought as much. Yes, it is unfortunate in that space that there are so many activities going on in the hallway during performances. Thank you very much for setting the record straight. Geoff Thomas,

Unfortunately, on the matinee performance he attended there was an infuriating amount of disrespectful noise although there are "Keep Quite" signs all along it. Our lobby is near empty during the entirety of the show, and we like to hope/think that none of our actors would speak during a performance while in ear-shot of the audience. (unless they're on stage, of course...)

Once again I apologize for my carelessness, and thank the anonymous gentleperson for pointing it out. We are committed to presenting good work. I let that commitment down. It may happen again. When it does, I hope I can correct the errors quickly. To the readers of LATR - after reading the comment by “Spellcheck” I went through this post and found several more errors.

Thank you for your corrections, they are appreciated. I rushed this review up and did not proof it well enough, for which I'm sorry, and I am truly grateful when I am kept honest. Next time, however, have the courage to leave your real name. I take your point that I accused the production of sloppiness, then was sloppy myself. My sloppiness does not excuse the production's. And I have put myself into the public eye to be made to be taken to account, as have this talented company. You should do the same. Geoff Hoff Dear Spellcheck.

Also, Pasternak should be spelled as previous on all references. Finally Laertes, should be spelled as previous as well. I guess it's hard to find more exerpirenced, less sloppy writers for small LA theater blogs. Shakespeare** …you spelled it wrong there in third paragraph.
