Multi-awarded Broadway actress Patti LuPone showed her audience at her Wednesday show for 'Shows For Days' that the theater is one place where you cannot text. Apparently, one specific female audience member during the show was in the front row and could not stop texting, so what did LuPone do? She grabbed the woman's phone to confiscate it.

For some it was a bit off for an actress to go over to the audience and confiscate something, but most people considered it as the right thing to do especially since the show was going on and using cellphones are indeed prohibited.

That Wednesday show was indeed one that couldn't be forgotten most especially with the people inside when they saw the six-time Tony award winner to approach a woman in the front row, shook her hand and grabbed her phone to give it to the show's officials as she couldn't bear seeing the woman text for a second longer.

"We could see her text," LuPone recalled the incident in her interview with the New York Times. "She was so uninterested. She showed her husband what she was texting. We talked about it at intermission. When we went out for the second act I was very close to her, and she was still texting. I watched her and thought, 'What am I going to do?' At the very end of that scene, we all exit. What I normally do is shake the hand of the people in the front row. I just walked over to her, shook her hand and took her phone. I walked offstage and handed it to the stage manager, who gave it to the house manager," she explained.

When she confiscated the phone, the audience apparently cheered in approval. But it didn't matter to LuPone as she was just concerned of the manners of being in the theater. "I don't know why they buy the ticket or come to the theater if they can't let go of the phone. It's controlling them," she said. "They can't turn it off and can't stop looking at it. They are truly inconsiderate, self-absorbed people who have no public manners whatsoever. I don't know what to do anymore. I was hired as an actor, not a policeman of the audience," LuPone added.

Well, the audience better keep their phones at LuPone's next show.
