Date of Observation: February 23, 2011

Location: Cabaret, Spiegel Theatre

Time: 12:45 AM

Far away sounds: People talking and making semi-audible comments in the rows behind me, whispering backstage, doors opening and closing.

Moderately close sounds: Ian reading Dept. Times on stage, Chris laughing a few seats down, papers shuffling, someone getting up from a seat/seat creaking

Very close sounds: Avery and Bionca giggling next to me, the paper or my script crinkling and a pencil scratching when it writes, heavy breathing.

One word description: Eventful.

Crucial sounds to recreate this atmosphere: Ian reading the The Department Times, the whispers and comments of an unruly audience, laughter.
