Silly joke
« on: Nov 04, 2015, 11:51 am »
What is a turtle with no shell?   Read my intro to find out....

I have been a professional stage manager for some years now. However, I became a Theatre teacher for the last six years instead. I still consider myself a SM though. I earned enough points with AEA in college to "get in" but for some reason never paid my dues.... I recently quit teaching to get back to doing what I really love and that is SMing professional shows. I miss it terribly and it has been a learning experience to be all the backstage positions... Teaching taught me to be a true "Jack-of-all-trades." I have done lights, sounds, costumes, props, directed, and of course, stage managed just about every show I've done for the last 6 years. Before that I worked in California and Austin stage managing and made enough to support myself.  It has been so long that I have lost many of my connections, so I am hoping to reconnect with some old friends and maybe find a job through this forum.  So, what is a turtle with no shell? Sluggish!! LOL I made that joke up myself!  I love cheesey jokes. If you have a good one to share, feel free to PM me. Have a great day and thanks for reading my intro :)

What a great intro: I had a similar background serving as a board member for a nonprofit children's theatre right out of college for years. Having all those skills is super important. You never what you'll need to know for a show!

My LD in college used to break out the cheesy jokes when we had long hangs. The one I remember that was hilarious (at around 11:30 or midnight) was: what do you say to a 3 headed, one legged, British hitchhiker? "'Ello, 'ello, 'ello, you look 'armless, 'op on in."
