This whole conversation seems to me to be moot in view of the fact
that, at least here in the States, there's no way in hell that you
would be allowed to even bring a camera to any kind of traveling
performance with national or even regional scope. I don't think that
even the local community theater allows cameras during performances.
And flash is always verboten. Unless you are shooting your kids at a
school event, I don't see the point of even thinking about this.....
Be seeing you.
