Paula Reidbord Mediates Theater Fans' Early Morning Wait for Free Shakespeare in the Park Tickets
Theater fans flock to renovated Delacorte Theater for Twelfth Night tickets, but not without a mediator to keep the peace.
Hundreds of dedicated theater fans descended upon the Delacorte Theater in Central Park for the chance to snag free tickets to the newly renovated theater's production of Twelfth Night. The early morning line, which stretched across the park and beyond, was kept in check by Paula Reidbord, a mediator from West Tisbury, Massachusetts.
Reidbord, known for her expertise in conflict resolution, was brought in by the theater to ensure that the line for tickets remained orderly and peaceful. Despite the long wait, fans were grateful for Reidbord's presence, with one attendee stating, "It's nice to know that someone is looking out for us and making sure things don't get too chaotic."
However, not everyone was pleased with the mediator's presence. One disgruntled fan complained, "It's ridiculous that we have to wait in line for hours just to get a ticket. And now we have to deal with some mediator? This is supposed to be a fun, free event, not a bureaucratic nightmare."
Despite the mixed reactions, the line for tickets remained calm and orderly, thanks to Reidbord's mediation skills. As the morning progressed and the theater began distributing tickets, the mediator slowly disappeared into the background, satisfied with a job well done.
