I posted it on Facebook (Social Media Addict) and as we all agreed - if we end up like that after training, it hasn't gone very well!

I just find it evokes the feeling of trying to get past Q1 at tech so well!
Of course I think that the problem is usually the LX Designer or the crew or the director, not the perfect in every way stage manager....

This totally boils down my last production to a T! Except, you know...I was the lighting designer and the stage manager....I was arguing with myself a lot...and honestly it went a lot in the other direction where it was a competent stage manager yelling at the damn lighting designer who kept ruining cues and grinding tech to a halt.

It was just awkward for everyone in the room  :P
