Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / PROFESSIONALISM: marijuana and theatre
« on: Jan 13, 2007, 03:52 am »
I am currently working backstage (running crew) at a production. Recently I noticed that the Deck Manager was a little bit high, making more jokes than he usually does, laughing obcenely loud over headset, and just constantly fooling around during the show. It did not affect him doing his job (from what I saw, though it could have), but I was concerned. When I asked him about it, he just said that he was happy (the matinee was cancelled), and then proceeded to tell me it was his job (over and over again). Assuming that one should never show up under the influence, what are some ways that marijuana use could affect any aspect of technical theatre?
Thanks in advance
