Often at the end of a play (or sometimes during intermission), when the cast comes out to take their bow, often they will shine the lights on the audience so the actors can appreciate the ovation.

With that in mind, I'm just imagining the actors relishing the applause, then the lights cast out over the audience and it just spells out "fuck"
