The venue is cold.
Building is Victorian
We're doing our best

To keep you all warm.
Please work with me a little.
Maybe you could bring

A coat or robe or
Wrap. Instead of demanding
Blankets in the wings.

Not an actor but
This is still my venting place
So bear with me please

A playwright's job is
Creation of a full world
Others bring alive

You don't sit front row
During last 10 out of 12
Directing actors

Subtext needs to come
From within the script you've wrought
Not 'cause you tell us

If it is not there
And you say we don't "get it"
That's your problem, man.

Blue light on your face
You are not very sneaky
Put your phone away

Dishes in the sink
You ate/drank it, not me
I am not your maid

Spill soup in the fridge
Don't tell anyone, it sits
Guess who cleans it up.

Yes, the days are long
But this is not your first show
That's why it's called tech.

email me your schedule and
email me your script."

Don't like last night's notes?
You weren't there to talk about them
Don't miss rehearsal

You are our new star,
I wish you were down a well,
Just like in the show.

Giving notes is hard,
When you are being a star,
Smother that ego.
Grant me the **Serenity**
to accept the things that I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the Wisdom to hide those people...

Can't find your pencil.
You had another breakdown.
Director, take 10.

Actress with no voice.
I read; she gestures onstage.
No line notes tonight.

Hurray for texas
Just because you moved here
Doesn't meen you're great.

You wave your metals
Sometimes I think you forget
Your a big cocky prick
Not the real tournament.
Grant me the **Serenity**

Actor's camera
Stashed VOM right to take show pics?
"Take it and hide it!"

The lens is the size
Of my friggin' head! Heck no...
We WILL discuss this.
