Not long ago, I was sitting in a theater awaiting the opening curtain of a play. The house lights were up and people milled around, settling into the snug seats. One of the artistic directors took the stage to make preliminary announcements, reminding audience members to unwrap hard candies before the play began and to silence their electronic devices. With a startling flurry of activity, candy wrappers crackled around me: I realized that the Sunday matinee has a very narrow and evident demographic, namely, the over-60 portion of the population. Heads in shades of silver and bald bent over still-glowing screens; hands fished in purses. Finally, the expected hush fell.
