Most definitely!  I think people need to do what they need to do.  Just 
because some choose to cancel shows this weekend, that doesn't mean they've 
been quailed by the SILENCE...and, thus, being less than what the ideal way 
is to respond, react, behave when such a tragic event has occurred in our 
lives.  We all heal differently.  There is a time that is right for everyone 
to experience theatre as an artist or audience member.  For some, it is this 
weekend.  For others, next.  Please don't judge those who have chosen this 
weekend to write, to visit family and friends, to do volunteer work, to watch 
tv 24 hours a day, to sit holed up in their apt. with the lights turned off 
and the drapes shut or whatever.  For some artists, this is what they need to 
do to heal.  Don't judge them.
