My experience... well, I was excited. Like a child before Christmas. I was going to the Berkeley Theater to see Paul Gross in Domesticated.. wow. I have always enjoyed Paul Gross and to see the Berkeley Theater was new for me.
Unfortunately, I may have picked the wrong play or was it the venue? I sat in the third seat from the front, the the left of the stage, rows C21 / 22. Close enough I thought, to be able to hear the actors... you see, I am hearing impaired.
Although I had my aids full blast, there was no way in HELL I was able to hear what they were saying.. I heard bits and pieces, but my heart sank, when I just could not hear what they were saying! My husband, who is NOT inflicted said, if he had been further back, he would not have heard them as well.
Is this the fault of the theater? perhaps the actors? There were no microphones attached to them.. that was for sure. I was so looking forward to this being a good experience, but unfortunately it was not.

I was totally let down and left after the intermission so disappointed.
