Broadway Theater Installs Infrared Camera Pointed At Audience After Nude Video Leak Of Jesse Williams
After the nude video leak of Jesse Williams—who likely has one of the largest cocks on Broadway right now—the Second Stage Theater (where Williams is appearing in “Take Me Out”) has installed an infrared camera pointed at the audience, which will catch anyone attempting to take photos or videos of the nude actors on stage. Via NYT:
Peter Dean, the director of production for Second Stage, said the theater’s security team already had a camera view of the audience that it monitored before, during and after the play’s shower sequences, but that on Wednesday morning it had added a PTZ camera (the initials stand for pan, tilt, zoom) which would allow it to get a clearer image of individual audience members at the Hayes Theater, where “Take Me Out” is running.
“This will allow us to focus on an audience member who looks like they’re doing something suspicious, and assess whether they’re just going through a purse to get a breath mint or pulling out a phone,” Dean said.
He said that if security spots a forbidden phone, it will alert the ushers and house manager, and that “we’re having discussions internally whether we would then stop the show, or send an usher or security when we see someone, to remove them.” He said the theater staff could ask patrons to delete footage from a phone, or could call the New York Police Department for assistance.
It’s absolutely absurd that it’s come to this, but hey, times are tough. People are horny and longing for big dick.
