Focus Tape

This was a big hit a few years ago.
I know a girl that was an electrics intern at the Santa Fe Opera the previous year.
When this video was mentioned she'd talk about how her years was better.
That year, 2008, they did Pirates vs Ninja which is funnier... if you're into that sort of thing.

Complicated

Not sure where it came from, who made it, or why.
But that pretty much sums up that play.
And I've got to work on it in a few weeks.
*sigh* lame.

( Not Original but what the hell? )

Man....

I would have been a disappoint to this person.
Although there is a mix of reactions when I say I would in theatre.
Some impressed.
Some confused.
Some think I'm an actor.
Some really think I'm an actor*.

*I'm pretty sure they're flirting with me.

Tech Rehearsal

Oddly enough this occasionally applies to profession theatre too.

Herding Cats

Most Stage Managers I know will equate gather actors to herding cats.
This is for them.

Safety...

One of the places I worked there was a lift that got sent to be repaired and instead of a fuse there was a wire cut to size and put in the holder.

Tech Rehearsal

Tech is a stressful time.
Long hours, little sleep, and changes changes changes.

Stage Code List

TO ALL OPERATING TECHNICIANS

It has come to the attention of the management that abusive and locally colorful language has become all too commonplace during the run of some performances. Since it is our endeavor to maintain the formal and professional decorum of the theatre, we will have to curb the “f**ks” and “sh*ts” that permeate the backstage areas. We also recognize the need for the technicians to creatively express themselves, so we have devised the following code list where a 100-series number will quickly identify a particular feeling or situation.
