Yes, by the third time we performed, I felt a general lack of interest. But on the fourth time, we had a better audience; it really depended on location and the specific students for the quality of audience participation. I like how people adapted to being in the darkness. After a while people started using cellphones to see their trays. I saw one kid crawling on the floor on a mission to jump up and scare some friends.
I was surprised that I couldn't see the audience; for some reason I had expected to see people's faces. I was surprised to hear my roommate's voice right in front of me at the end of one round; I hadn't even realized she was there. It created a definite feeling of separation between what I was doing and what people were seeing, and I concentrated more on getting the puppets to move correctly.
