Patti LuPone Teaches a Strict Lesson to a Texting Audience Member During Shows for Days

During last night's performance of Douglas Carter Beane's Shows for Days, LuPone snatched a phone right out of an audience member's hands as they sat there texting. During the show. During a point in the show where LuPone's character interacts with the audience (and, in fact, is supposed to shake people's hands).

As Twitter user "CatsPolitics" reported:

I saw Patti LuPone deliver her scene exit line tonight at Lincoln Center & SNATCH A CELL PHONE OUT OF AN AUDIENCE MEMBER’S HAND. #theatre
