if i had a dollar for every time the director threw a hissy fit because someone grabbed the wrong prop during a performance this run, i’d have one dollar, which is one dollar too many

update: i swallowed my anxiety and sent the director a message basically going “you’re blowing this out of proportion and this is really nobody’s fault and we shouldn’t get mad about it” except y’know, in a more professional manner

#for context: a character is supposed to grab an ice pick and hold it up like a weapon at one point #(she does not USE it as a weapon she just holds it like that) actor grabbed the spoon for scooping ice instead #because she didn’t see the ice pick on the cart then and so she improv’d.#director got mad #made some comments to me about it and then was like ‘i’m going to my car’#and then he just straight up left the building for like. 10-15 minutes.#and once he came back he went on about it at length and i’m just standing there silently like ‘sir this is a wendy’s’#and now he wants to make the pick up rehearsal next week a full dress to be petty #like that’s literally what he said to me.#like… what?#stage management #director has also made it clear in previous interactions that he does not want to hear my opinions about staging so. idk.#to be clear he IS a good director and has taught me about stage managing but like also. what the fuck is this.#anyway
