It seems quite natural to sit with ankles crossed for men and women. I do it all the time...and not just kilted.
If the actors practice sitting with a mind toward modesty, they will figure it out. But, if they forget then oh well...it happens in life too--make adjutments and carry-on smartly.

I would think that the stage lighting would cast the area in question in shadow, in which case it may not matter as much as you might think. But yes, if the actors are trained to sit properly like any other kilted man would sit, I don't see any problem. One fluid motion to sit: sweep pleats with one hand, while the other pushes the apron between the legs while sitting. Audience height shouldn't make any difference here as long as they're doing it right.

Refer them to Rocky's videos: http://www.usakilts.com/tech-sm/vide...education.html They can see it being done well there.

I agree. There are several ways to sit in a kilt in addition to splaying the legs and pushing the sporran down. Check out the scenes in the Officers' Mess in the movie "Tunes of Glory" for some good examples.

Good and useful advice even for those of us not on stage, thank you.

I had a problem similar to this yesterday. My niece was elected to Homecoming court and I decided to support her by spending my free Friday evening at the game that she would be getting announced at. The seat that was saved for me was front row fifty yard line. The problem that the stands are elevated about 4 feet with just a guard rail. I started the evening trying to cross my ankles with my feet out a bit, but heavy foot traffic back and fourth to the concession stand made that impractical. So I held my knees shut, not having sufficient space to do the wide spread and sporrans tuck method. By the end of the night I just used my day plaid as a stadium blanket and ignored the whole issue. This may not be the practical solution for your stage problem, but it worked for me.
Keep your rings charged, pleats in the back, and stay geeky!
