[SML] infrared hearing systems

[Jerry Durand]

I was in one theatre that had strobes mounted at the pros. opening with
slave triggers.  A flash from the audience resulted in a simultanious
flash from the stage.  Washed out your picture and if you did it again
your neighbors would pound you silly.

As for real audiences not doing it...  May not be so many flashes
because they're all making a video of the entire production.
