Musings of a stage manager and the outrageous things said in rehearsal

[smlivetweets @smlivetweets]

Lost one of my stage management mentors today.
Artie, I hope you are surrounded by all the celestial snacks. I’m putting extra out on my table today.

[smlivetweets @smlivetweets]

Director: I want to live in the creepy baby cry for a while.
SM: horrific, I love it.

[smlivetweets @smlivetweets]

SM; I’m her wife, this is her husband.
Actor: welcome to Seattle.

[smlivetweets @smlivetweets]

Actor: you should see this play.
Director: is it good?
Actor: it’s interesting.
Director: what does that mean?
Actor: it means it’s interesting.

Actor 1: wow, I hate to see what the other guy looks like.
Actor 2: it looks exactly the same. It was a chair.

[smlivetweets @smlivetweets]

GF: will you marry me?
SM: I’m in tech.

Another depiction of how my all time status is panicked gay.

Trying to decipher notes converted from writing to text:
“Oof an gway g’day.”
“Say you we hoes dink.”
“Photo pato bendy puddles.”
“Ooh, dick yes.”

Singing “How do you solve a problem like Ophelia” during the nunnery scene.

Straight Pride is when you pretend the blow jobs you get from other guys are just a hobby.

[smlivetweets @smlivetweets]

Director: I love it, this is so fuckin dumb.

“Do we mind if the roach looks like a vulva?”
“The more it looks like a vulva the happier I am.”

Line is “I see everything”
Actress accidentally gropes another actress: “I - oh! I feel everything!”

me at 16: I want to see my face on TV! I want to be a legend!

me now: I want to be a Gnome with a tiny shop in the woods where I cobble shoes. I’ll ride a goose to work and sip rain from an acorn mug, and my only worry is will there be enough pies for the name-day feast.

Conflict makes me nervous unless it’s been two rival species of supernatural beings who barely wear clothes.

[smlivetweets @smlivetweets]

K: maybe the squip will win this time.
Me: I don’t think that’s how it works.
