The major ones, family weddings...funerals...but I gave up my health to theatre most of all.
Late hours, no sleep, living off caffeine and energy drinks, midnight $1 a slice pizza, frozen dinners, thousands and thousands of cigarettes, alcohol to numb a bad tech, alcohol to celebrate an opening, unhealthy relationships....I've lost my pinky toe nail, done nerve damage to my left elbow, hyper extended my right one multiple times, worn down my knees, nearly crushed all the fingers on both hands, electrical shocks, burned, cut, splinters etc...
I thought when I left to sit behind a desk I would miss it. I found that I just don't. My swan song production to me was the best way to cap my career and that part of my life. I was the calm center in a sea of chaos, adapted to severe technical difficulties Etc etc. I was sad because I finally felt every thing click for me as a stage manager and I would be walking away after and what could be now that I had this revelation.
But I will always know what it was.
