How good can you be when you’ve got a bad crowd?
What if someone was watching you, taking notes of what a professional does when there’s a bad crowd? Or they take a video to bring it back to class and the students are going to study your show for the limits of how good you can be even when the crowd is bad.
It’s easy to give up on a bad crowd since they’ve already given up on you.
But you’re already on stage so what could you do other than give up?
