Sonya Alone.

The theatre is a communal event. An audience experiences a production together. However, to many, it's a social event as well. The theatre community is small and, often, one doesn't need six degrees of separation to make a connection.

But does that mean it's frowned upon to see a show by yourself? That's the question one Reddit user had.
