Welcome to Prototype World, a brief intermission in your regularly scheduled program of disruption, during which everything new will more or less stink.
One approach that can help involves blocking out a couple of planned 15-minute intermissions on your calendar, one in the mid-morning and the other in the mid-afternoon.
Your intermission can consist of a mini contest or a musical selection either by a performer or your DJ.
When performances began and some of you walked out at intermission, emphatically expressing your displeasure to our House Manager, we had lengthy discussions about what to do.
The sound produced by the cast of "Company" was so impressive, captivating and powerful that at intermission you checked your programs in disbelief that they weren't Equity members.
Or "Won't you please check your messages at intermission — the light is terribly distracting".
If you are bored or in need of the necessary, Mr. Glass and Mr. Wilson invite you to create your own private intermission.
Both versions will feature classic overture and intermission periods so you can stretch your legs and buy ice-cream, lasting around 12 minutes.
You must structure your story around the intermission to leave the audience tense and wondering at the end of the first act.
