I suspect all that would happen is an increase in snoring, snuffling and general noisemaking during the second half. Not that that would be an entirely bad thing. At the very least it would give some audience members the chance to work on their death stares as well as a feeling of righteous indignation that would spur vitriolic letters to the Editor about "the state of things". Angry or not, this would count as stakeholder interaction with the organization, which was the point all along.
