So here's another thing I'd love folks' opinion on. I'm a PA at a major regional theatre, and we have an SM that doesn't seem to handle stress well. (Bad in this business). We're working on a production with a large turntable, which I have been assigned to operate. For today's rehearsal, our motors coordinator put in a new cable and some other improvements to help the turntable move. It was explained to the ASM that this would change some of the actors traffic patterns, and that the new cable might cause a trip hazard, which our stage carpenter labeled well so it was clear where the actors should cross to avoid tripping, etc. The SM was in notes with the actors (which ran over time an hour and had the crew sitting around) and then immediately came out ready to work a scene. As the ASM had not said anything to the SM about the new cable and trip hazard, I chose to mention it as I am sitting next to it and operating it. The SM then attempted to make an announcement over the God mic twice which the actors could not hear, and yelled at us over the headset to explain the situation and this might have been something "nice to know before I'm trying to start an f'ing rehearsal". So I wasn't out of line to mention something as the PA since the ASM didn't, correct? And wasn't she out of line for yelling at us? When I SM, I do a walkthrough every day to see what's changed. So if she doesn't do that, it's kind of her fault, isn't it? Curious to hear what folks think...
