Here's a crazy idea. Does the theater have a phone of its own? Plug
in a "Y", and run an extension to the stage, and put an actual phone
there. Arrange for somebody at another line to hold the line open -
i.e., call somebody on the theater phone sometime before the play starts,
and just sit there. This will ensure that if anybody calls during the
play, they'll get a busy signal. Then, at the right moment, the two people
hang up, and the guy on the remote line immediately calls the theater
again, and the phone on the stage rings (along with the extension, in the
office or wherever. This time, the guy in the office doesn't answer!) They
have their conversation, and if they don't hang up, the phone company will
provide the noise for you. :-)
Cheers!
