Things Stage Managers Say

[missliz]

By now you've probably seen Sh*t Girls Say, Sh*t Guys Say, Things Vegans Say, Things Musical Theater Girls Say, etc et al. (I'm surprised there's not a Sh*t Actors Say, actually.)

Since I'm not talented enough for a video- Things Stage Managers Say?


"Are you getting coffee? Will you get me some?"


"Places! No, really, seriously, places."

[lsears]

Oh. You went to Starbucks during your break. Hmm. I had to work through the break. Oh, and before you ask, no I didn't want any so thanks for not thinking of me.

I'm one degree away from Kevin Bacon. But I'm only three away from Hugh Jackman.

He gave me a LOT of attitude during notes yesterday. I'm thinking I might accidentally call his blackout cue a little early.

I love my job, I love my job, I love my job....

Did you get the new office supplies catalog? Christmas came early!

 "Alright you guys we have a lot of work to do and it's difficult if everyone is talking, if you have something very important to discuss with someone please leave the room, but make sure you are back quickly and do not miss a cue."

"COMPUTER WHY ARE YOU NOT WORKING!"

"Check over this email before I send"

"They were nice, just not the best fit for the job"

"They were great at their job, but sometimes you know different personalities sometimes don't work well together."
