From the play The Search For Signs of Intelligent Life In The Universe by Jane Wagner; Trudy (Lily Tomiln) is telling us about taking the extra-terrestrials to the theatre:
"Did I tell you what happened at the play? We were at the back of the theatre, standing there in the dark, all of a sudden I feel one of 'em tug my sleeve, whispers, 'Trudy, look.' I said, 'Yeah, goose bumps. You definitely got goose bumps. You really like the play that much?' They said it wasn't the play gave 'em goosebumps, it was the audience. I forgot to tell 'em to watch the play; they'd been watching the audience! Yeah - to see a group of strangers sitting together in the dark, laughing and crying about the same things... that just knocked 'em out. They said, 'Trudy, the play was soup... the audience... art.'"
