These very good dogs are paying rapt attention. Are they watching Cats? No, the performance is Billy Elliot – The Musical at the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario. The dogs are not musical fans, but they may become fans with exposure! They are service dogs in training from K-9 Country Inn Service Dogs. They came to the theater to learn how to behave when accompanying their humans to the theater. It was one of the "relaxed performances" that the Stratford Festival is known for.
Relaxed performances are specifically designed to welcome patrons who will benefit from a less restricted audience environment. Patrons of all abilities are welcome, including but not limited to those with intellectual or learning disabilities, sensory processing conditions or autism. There is a relaxed attitude to noise and movement within the auditorium, and some minor production changes may be made to reduce the intensity of light, sound and other potentially startling effects. Babes in arms are also welcome to our relaxed performances.
A good time was had by all. -via Laughing Squid

You also have the issues of vanity sizing and different cuts. I like the style of many of Target's Mossimo Supply Co shirts, but I'm an entire size larger in those because they're "Athletic Cut" which apparently means tight. Vanity sizing works the opposite way. Men's size 36 pants at Old Navy are actually 41 inches.
And of course, these are "free" t-shirts at a conference. In those situations, I always get a size bigger because I assume they're going to shrink a size after the first wash.
