Stage Manager's Prayer
« on: Jan 01, 2010, 06:16 pm »
I'm a Senior in High School currently SMing my last show their :'(

But when I was a Sophmore and only starting to ASM for productions the current stage manager, whom I consider to be my mentor of sorts seeing as she taught me most of the basics, told me about this prayer. Surprisingly it's helped me though alot of stuff and has always been able to make me smile at what seemed like the lowest points during our productions. Which is why I wish to share it with you now.

Stage Manager's Prayer
Lord grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to hide the bodies of those actors I had to kill because they
Pissed Me Off

It is cute (and on my own facebook page).  I think the original is very applicable to what we all do.

Lord give me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to be able to tell the difference between the two.
