hey guys

If you're in cast

don't be a dick to crew

please

be careful w your props as well

I once spent 5 hours painting a set only to have to make a new one from scratch because an asshole on crew, knowing i made it, kicked a hole through it.

A designer I just worked with, who is a complete asshole, has just asked me to do some freelance making work for him. For a panto that opens in two weeks....because his other maker has pulled out....fuck

Gonna have to get more info before I even think about saying yes. Because I may be unemployed but I'm not stupid (mostly)

The theatre is a spiritual and social X-ray of its time.

I love going off the face of the planet for a month because I've had three shows to design in a row.

One a week for the past three weeks this month (essentially two 60hr unpaid work weeks and one lightly paid work week).

Anyways, we open this week's show tomorrow night! Super fun.

Oh, and then I have a FOURTH show to design next week. And then a week to finish and turn in homework and then the end of the school year.

Tech is beginning for Anastasia! This stage manager is holding on for dear life, but is mostly thriving?

Nights are starting to get later, my brain is overwhelmed with tons of information, and then having to use that information to make things happen, and now I’m on my A-game for safety as we start to use huge set pieces and props.

One of the most important, yet difficult part of my role in this phase is the idea of setting the temperature. Meaning, my team and I, have to keep things 72°. No matter what happens or what goes wrong. 72°. For me, it’s more like 68° because I like a colder temp, but you get the idea.

Problem arises, like a prop is broken from being mishandled, even when I wanna go, ahhh I wanna murder youuuuu!!” I just take a deep breath, and go “Make sure we are careful with our props, we will get this fixed”

I can genuinely hear and feel in my soul the “shwoop” of heads in my direction anytime that something goes wrong. The way that I respond is just so important in maintaining a calm atmosphere and allowing rehearsal to continue smoothly. Which is honestly, a lot of pressure the more I think about it. I’ve got a lot going on already, and situations arising makes me feel like a kettle near boiling lol.

I am still having a fun time though and am happy to serve this show through all that I’m doing! Kind words and appreciation from my cast and production has been encouraging and reminding me that everything I’m doing will pay off and has a purpose! I’m looking forward to entering tech with the cast quite soon, even if I’m already in tech myself lol.

fighting the urge to act out a 3 hour long musical

you know the performance is going to be good when all the cast and crew are running off 5hrs of sleep (collectively), 3 monsters each, and 0 will to live.
