First let me start off by saying that I REALLY enjoyed the play "Booty Candy". It was funny as well as eye-opening. I absolutely loved the message!!

I did however have an issue with the house manager who worked on Saturday Night 10/5. The show was to start at 8pm, sometimes that doesn't always happen and that's fine. At 8:05pm myself and another friend got up to make a quick run to the restroom. Before leaving, we asked the two ushers at the door if we had enough time to run to the restroom, they said yes and we headed down the stairs. 5 minutes later when we returned, the house manager was standing upstairs and told us that we could not enter the theater because the play had already started and suggested that we wait downstairs and watch the play on the screen until scene change. I informed her of what the ushers had told us, and she replied, "yeah, you didn't have time to go to the restroom". By this time, my friend (who caught the elevator from the restroom floor) was up the stairs where there were chairs. As I walk up to her, the house manager comes speeding behind me up the stairs and stands in front of the door as if I'm going to barge into the theater. She proceeds to tell us that she saw us walking to the restroom and attempted to get our attention. I do not believe that because the lobby was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. The only people there were myself and my friend, so her attempt to get our attention was a complete Lie. We then asked her at what time do they usually stop people from going to the restroom and she stated 8:05, then said the time varies and sometimes it's 8:10, which basically meant that she did not know. We also asked how long until scene change and said she had NO IDEA. I asked for an approximate time and she stated that she did not know. This was NOT opening night, the play has been showing since August but she wanted us to believe that she had no idea what time scene change occurs. She further insulted us when a group of about 10 people walked in and were escorted up the stairs, she went got them and escorted them INTO the theater on the other side....IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOW, not during scene change. So my friend and I, walked in at our own will and sat in empty chairs to not disturb anyone. A few minutes later, we saw more people coming in, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SHOW and was seating in the overflow sections so they could not disturb anyone but still see the show. I wondered to myself, if she had just brought us up the stairs in those seats to begin with, everything would've been fine.

She, the house manager, did not know at the time but I was there with a party of more than 15 people who all came to support our friend that was in the show. She didn't offer any smiles until she saw the amount of people we were with $$$$$$$$$$.

Absolutely LOVED LOVED LOVED the play but the manager working that night was a HORRIBLE host.
