When I got to the theatre at 12:30 for today's matinee there were police barricades up blocking a big section of downtown, including the stage door! Two blocks away a man was on a balcony railing on the 14th floor of the Marriott, threatening to jump. He had been there since about 11:00. When we left the theatre around 3:30 he was still there. The last I heard was at 6:30, and police were still negotiating with him.
It was somewhat surreal.
