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.'
