Terrific. It's illegal in New York City to have a ringing cell phone 
in any theatre or performance space. There's a fine. I wouldn't put 
it past them to set off an alert whenever the treasury got low and 
had cops handing out tickets at each theatre. It would become a 
profit center, just like parking.
