Brain gave me the dumbest, most amazing pun ever.

I’m a technical theater person for fun and volunteer hour reasons, one of the creatures that run around backstage making plays and musicals run, and I got my start by diving in the deep end by mic wrangling a musical.

Technical theater people are called crew, making up one third of the trifecta of cast (actors), crew (tech), and pit (orchestra for live music) that create musicals.

I do this at my school and have two years in a row. I’m a veteran of the mic crew for musicals.

Mic crew.

Mike Crew.

Behold how TMA warps the brain

#me running my mouth #tma podcast #the magnus archives #mike crew #technical theatre #if any entity fits the musical production experience its a combo of stranger and spiral #nothing goes right everything seems off the hallways are some nonsense and the soundtrack causes madness #madness weird music too many people not enough time crazy hallways and catwalks lighting nonsense wonky sound #everyone in costume and makeup or pure black skittering around in a rush #the sheer experience of pit tuning itself with brass strings drums piano woodwind all singing horribly together #should i write a fic about this? i feel like i should write a fic about this
