The Green Room / Food

« on: Mar 08, 2005, 01:28 pm »

Well, I love to cook, so therefore I have a tendancy to cook a big pot of something good in my slowcooker, (chili, chicken, pasta, whatever is in my house) and put it in tupperware. That way, I know that I'm eating something healthy that will keep my energy up. If it's tech week and even the idea of putting stuf in my crock pot seems like too much effort, I buy several frozen meals (love rice bowls) and keep them in the freezer in the the theatre office =-) Fast food just drags your enegy down, in my opinion. Good luck! We all understand this dilemma. ~Kat

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Actors who direct....

This may be true, but the cast should understand (if this is a professional show) that they are not to give notes to each other. Even if this isn't professional, it is undermining the director and wastes rehearsal time...too many cooks in the kitchen etc..I would speak to the director about addressing the deputy or, if there is no deputy, have him speak to the cast if it is causing disruption to the process. Thats my two cents =-) ~Kat

Runstop..er stops runs in pantyhose and snaggy fabrics. If necessary it can also be used to tack up a falling hem(weakly), but I swear by the little thing I got in an as-seen-on-TV store called the buttoneer. It is an amazing little piece of palstic. It puts on buttons and reapirs tears and falling hems with a tiny piece of clear plastic. Though, its not good for thick fabrics. Oops got off topic...runstop. You can usually get it in good fabric stores. But clear nail polish works just as well on nylons as does hairspray if your in a pinch =-) ~Kat

You can get the photo-flash at Wal-mart for under $10. Also, my SM kit is very expansive, and it didn't cost much. Here's my secret....the Dollar store. It has EVERTHING. Obviously, some of the specialty stuff you need to go to staples for, but between the dollar store and wal-mart, I created my kit for under $150. The dollar store is especially good for basic medical stuff and cleaning supplies. Enjoy your kit. There is no better feeling than an actor in a panic (oh my God! I'm in a childeren's show! I'm supposed to be 8years old and I forgot to shave!!) coming to you, and being able to reach in your kit and give them what they need right there. It makes them feel very secure and confident. I love my kit and never go to rehearsal without it. (even though it now weighs a ton) I need to get a new tool box on wheels =-) ~Kat
