Term of the Night: to go souveniring

to go souveniring--when small props, pieces of perishable props or even small scenic details are stolen by the audience after the show. Sometimes small props that are on the apron of the stage or that fall into the orchestra seats at the end of the show are taken by audience members. "I worked 'A  Behanding in Spokane.' When our expensive, hand-crafted rubber hands would bounce in the audience, audience members would try to take them home. I saw it as theft. They saw it as going souveniring."
