Showbiz Dictionary: “Strawing”

Posted By on December 13, 2008

Strawing:  This happened when there were more people in the audience than there were seats.  The workers would bring in bales of straw and throw them down in front of the seats or wherever there was room. This was called “strawing” or looks like a “strawthum” crowd.
