I work with a dozen other SMs on a weekly basis, so I'll have to print this to share. Thank you so much for posting!   :D

Thank you for sharing this article, it brings up some great points.  I never would have thought there was such thing as too much eye contact!  I definitely learned something new today.  :)

I'm actually SMing at a theme park for the current Halloween season, so I get to celebrate it for six full weekends leading up to the date itself.  Luckily the event closes on the 30th, so I can enjoy the 31st for the first time in years!!!  I also need to start working on an outfit... zombie, perhaps? :-)

Oh, I'm torn between either a clipboard or a flashlight.  Definitely leaning towards the headlamp type of flashlight.

I loved this article!  So often we hear that if we FIND work we enjoy, we never work a day in our lives.  Here he says that because he PERFECTED the work he had, he was able to enjoy it.  This perspective is something more non-theatre people need to here, then perhaps we would have happier people in the world! ;o)

Thank you for sharing this link!

The Green Room / Re: What Kind of SM are you?

I've always appreciated being referred to as the "Babysitter SM."  Put simply, the director and designers all trust me with their "baby" and the cast/crew respects and acknowledges my leadership. All the while I'm looking out for the good of the show, as well as each individual involved (on AND off the stage).

Although I feel that I have been turning into more of an "Animal's SM" as of late. The past year I've been working on a show with approximately 40 animals in it and during each rehearsal/performance, I'm constantly striving to protect their training and safety. (And, of course, having a BLAST doing it!!)
