I like my theatre like I like my men: with good reviews from previous patrons.

Do you find this true?

And if you're looking for a laugh, read the comment left by Eisenhorn in the comments section.

That "morale" quote at the end hurt just to read it.

Word version of Into The Woods, but pdf works.

Introductions / Re: High school stage manager, craving to learn

Your passion for the field is palpable even in writing, keep that going!

It sounds like you've already scoured the boards but be sure to hit the posts under Students and under Regional Advice especially. I didn't personally attend ECU but I hear great things about their program. I'm currently based out of Charlotte, so if you ever have any NC-specific questions, feel free to PM (private message) me.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks, passing it along.

The Green Room / Re: Gifts and thankyou cards
« on: Jun 19, 2012, 04:32 pm »
I tend to do more for my crew/tech depts than I do for my cast. I always bake something for the scene shop, run crew and costume crew. If it's a particularly memorable cast, I'll do an odd thank you card (like a note written on the back of these http://www.knockknockstuff.com/catalog/categories/books-other-words/flashcards/new-and-improved-slang-flashcards/) or show appropriate trinket. Because I have such a tight rotation of casts, sometimes gifts/notes just don't happen.

Tools of the Trade / Re: Stage Manager station

I suppose it depends on your theatre's set-up or if you tour your shows, but how necessary is it that it be portable?

Having to entertain higher ups who 'used to be techies' in high school, then smile and nod when they point out front lighting (which is non-existent).

I was hoping to shoot down at least one of them, but darn it if the guy isn't accurate.

Non-method fire extinguisher: Those productions where it seems everything but the fire extinguisher is a method actor, and you will spend a great majority of your time correcting actors blocking, cleaning up broken props because their character 'would have done that in that moment,' and sitting through endless discussions about the motivation of simple business like how their character would turn a door knob.

Example -  'Last night my actor playing Stanley in A Streetcar Named Desire said he felt he needed to throw the cup SR instead of SL, so we had to clean up the broken shards in the dark during the scene change. But at least I still have a non-method fire extinguisher.'

The Green Room / Re: Creative help: Peter Pan crew T-shirts
« on: Jun 07, 2012, 03:35 pm »
Great idea!

Adult versions:
 "Pixie dust?! B---s--t!"
"Tink may have sprinkled the dust, but WE'RE the ones flying your a$$!"

Safe versions:
"We WILL take away the fairy dust!"
"Second star to the right? Again?!."
"Flying magic takes a crew - not an annoying blinking light with wings."

For our production of Seussical, we gave the crew shirts that said "Truffula Logging Company." We're sick.
