All Actors on Stage!
No, please finish your convo
Naught of more import

If I crack his head,
ASM, already mopped,
Surely bursts to tears

All of my actors
Making out with each other
Now they've got the flu.
I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least. -Ionesco

How not to inform
SM you are calling out:
A text from your swing.

Few things as awkward
As giving actor-playwright
Line notes for their play.

Please stop upstaging
The rest of your ensemble.
Teens share more than you.

Calls on my day off
Says he doesn't complain but
He is complaining

Scheduled for a
half hour rehearsal and
then done for the day

Does not want to go
I say aren't you going,
to be out all week?

Yes he says but its
to Vegas for a conference
but it won't be fun

so you're out all week
and now you want off Sunday
and you don't complain

See you on Sunday
Try not to enjoy Vegas
What a boring town

Guess that will teach you,
Huh? To dare to answer your
Phone, on your day off...

Actor needs to learn
Once he says "yes" to the job,
It's not about him...
"Be fair with others, but then keep after them until they're fair with you."
--Alan Alda

I learned my lesson
I threw my phone in the lake
Wait, Broadway just called?

You're supposed to lead
But you still don't know your lines
You hold the show back

Tech starts in two weeks
You can not call line next week
You will crash and burn

Cast is always late
They try to piss off SM
It's you that you hurt

With thirty of you
I can't memorize your call
For every night

It is in email
Please check it before you call
I have a life too

I cannot lock up
and go home until you leave.
GO AWAY NOW, JERKS!

Why are you still here?
The green room is small and gross.
Hotels have lobby bars!

An hour post show
Facebooking all your puppets;
Same as yesterday.

Clean up your space
Do I look like your mother?
Please don't throw the props

Do I want to know?
Please tell me why that's broken
Don't you read reports?

If there is a sheet
We call it the sign in sheet
Why don't you sign it?

Someone brought donuts?
Now there are no more donuts?
That's ok, I'm good

Coffee Coffee please
Steady Diet of Starbucks
A liquid life force

The Sound Designer
Is not coming to the tech
Not such a big deal

The Sound Designer
Is also mixing the show
Now I am concerned

Theatre's last show
Reviews talked about the sound
And how bad it was

Did he design it?
Not sure, but the producer
plays Russian Roulette

I guess we'll find out
If we can hear the actors
Are we opened yet?

Friday rehearsal
Gave actors two months notice
Now they notice it

People calling out
Can't get off from their day job
But two months notice?!

Only 2 actors
Will show up on Friday night
No more. I give up.

Come on new children
Costumes on bodies, hats on!
Thank you, places please!

This is wonderful,
Just because it is the end
Still, no pranks allowed.

Why, I work with kids,
I try to help them, I try,
It's time for a break.
Grant me the **Serenity**
to accept the things that I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the Wisdom to hide those people...

Opening Night
Is only four days away
I'm so glad its done

If I only can
have actor not wear snuggie
onstage would be great

Most unruly cast
in my professional life
never ever ever again
