Is tweeting the new tool in theatre?

We were the first in Monterey County to do it and we called them Saturday Night BASHers. Inspired by SFPlayhouse, who began their tweet seats in 2010, more information about the creation of Pluggers is available in this article.  

So what’s the big idea behind tweeting during a live performance? Is it a viable resource or is it “just gross”, as Curt Hopkins states in his article Tweet seats deserve to be booed out of theater (Arts Technica).

Check out this KQED/NPR radio piece, Theatres Torn on Tweets by Cy Musiker, featuring former 2x4BASH stage manager/designer, Casey Rebecca Nunes.
