The theater thrums with the restless energy of a crowd awaiting the curtain. Joe Hawley's gaze sweeps the seating chart with raptor-like focus, tickets crumpled in his fist. "Seats Q40 and Q41," he announces, his voice slicing through the ambient chatter as he flaps the paper toward you. He bolts for Row Q, leaving you scrambling to keep up. Slumping into his seat, he fixes a stare on the stage, then frenetically shoves popcorn into his mouth, a blizzard of crumbs raining onto his lap. All at once, he stiffens. "The orchestra pit!" he exclaims, surging to his feet as the snack cascade tumbles to the floor, propelled by a musician's insatiable itch to see the mechanics behind the magic.
