I actually am curently in my first show ever and I am now getting to see how the other side of the curtain feels and I would be very peeved if my sound crew decided (even though they have been my same crew for the past year and are very dear friends) to just have a little fun.
You are not respecting people right to priviacy and it is hard enough dressing room filled with everyone trying to get ready and then think about if someone might be listening in "Just for a bit of fun"

Oh man you never know who is listening, I did Throughly Modern Millie and one of the techs girlfriend was Miss dorthy a supporting lead and we all got off of head set for intermission preset
He decided to get on and heard our projectionist (Matt) talking about how bad she was a a performer
Matt car had slashed tires and a broken windshield by the time we got out of the show that night, needless to say we replaced 2 crew members the next day

Life is hard as a SM but every once and a while a feel totally and compeltey appericated!
I am the new (and frist) PSM of a coummunity theatre and I have an contracted amount of shows that I are just soley my shows and I am to call and manage along the way without having a SM.
When we were in a staff meeting the other day the diectors were deciding what shows they wantd to do for the upcomming season and 2 o tem were fighting over Joseph and they asked if I was SMing that one myself and I am not so they both decided they did not want that show and started fighting over scarlet pimpernel becasue that is my next show!
It is a really good feeling to be wanted!!!!
I was also offred a bribe by another director to Sm their show!

I completly agree with that you just have to be good at what you do. the only problem I have run into was the people I have the most problems with is the people my age. is that just me? 17-24yrs
also what is your stance on yelling at the cast.
I hate to yell and I have a SM that all she does is yell
I see it as a sign of inmaturity
