Do people attending plays & musicals have a moral obligation to the performers to try to stay awake?

8. I see two problems with this

First, as others have pointed out, the actors/actresses should be performing at a level that keeps the audience engaged. I get that and I understand the point completely.

However, as to my second point, our current generation, and I'm including myself in this critique
, is so dulled by the constant instantaneous award of likes/comments/snaps/dislikes from social media that the sheer act of sitting through a three hour production is more than their minds can handle. That's the sad state of where we are in this country!
