in my first year doing high school theatre i tried to use a fog machine (cuz my dad owns one and i knew how to use it) but as soon as it entered the theatre it S T O P P E D W O R K I N G and so we had to cut it :(
Technician: Why are you so concerned about the haze machine?
Production Manager: Because on the last show, we had to… uh…
Lighting Designer: Wank off the haze machine live on stage mid-show to make it put out any fog.
Technician: Well that’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone say those words in that order.
I literally posted nothing about our show but you can follow along with the quotes I submitted to whatislifebesidesrehearsal!
I loved this show, the new grade 8s were so amazing...
*After the last show*
Tech team and Stage Manager: *singing along to ‘Counting Stars’ by OneRepublic while cleaning up*
Actors: *crying*
Stage Crew: *awkwardly trying to move set pieces without disturbing crying actors*
[Actor lying prone after fall]
Director: HOLD
Actor: no I'm okay that was just my commitment to the bit

Thank you @anti-homophobia-cheese for the tag! This one is super fun!
Tagging @cha-melodius @zwiazdziarka @orchidscript @firenati0n @read-and-write- @gayrootvegetable @alasse9 @caterpills @xthelastknownsurvivorx @cultofsappho @love-has-a-way-ofgrowingbackward and anyone else that wants to play!
ppl who overemphasize the andreil height difference make no sense to me like. it’s 3 inches and andrew prolly wears his fuck ass platform boots while neil prances around in sneakers so worn out he might as well just be wearing socks. be fr they’re practically eye to eye neil’s just got a complex and points out andrew’s height every other sentence
i wanna try this, PLEASE INTERACT IF you have a twin, you’re a redhead, you moved around a lot as a kid, your dad is didn’t know you were his kid until you were like twenty, you were adopted by a cult, you have/had a face tattoo, you’ve beat up three men, you have a binder full of clippings of your idol who you were childhood friends with, you killed your mom, your dad is a serial killer, you owe 80% of your salary to the yakuza, or you have a cat named sir or king <3
The results are in! The three new alt accounts will be named "neilshairdye" "sethkilledfortheplotgordon" and "aaronshortyard" thank you to everyone who voted!
Making some Instagram alt accounts and decided on making them All For The Game (or All For The Gay iykwim) themed! I have a poll for some current handles, but feel free to suggest more as some might be taken and I'm not sure about the Instagram character limit... (ALSO SPOILERS OBVI! HAVE A GREAT DAY/NIGHT!)
anyways, let me know in the comments if you have any other name suggestions!

If you don’t believe being asexual has any negative affect on people I was told by a psychiatrist that none of my relationships count because we didn’t have sex, and I can’t say I’m gay since I don’t want to have sex with girls.
and I was taken off my antidepressants because they may be lowering the libido I never had in the first place (plus various other reasons, but still immediately, cold turkey, which should NEVER happen unless they’re switching you to something else)
But aphobia doesn’t exist and asexuals are privileged, right?
reblog if you're gay, not gay, slightly gay, or if you just want to launch donald trump into a dying star
there is not a single reason to not reblog this

oh the show that my high school theatre company closed 2 months ago had over 200 props if we're counting set dressing (it was a teenager's bedroom so it was MESSY)
[The show contains three props]
Production Manager: what do you think about the props?
Stage Tech: felt over indulged. A little much.
There are currently ~2300 works in AO3 tagged with "Created Using Generative AI"
I'll be upfront with my opinion, which mirrors my opinion in regards to my field: using AI will only hasten your own obsolescence. The point of fanfiction is not to crank out fics, but rather to enjoy the hobby and communities of writing and fandom.

This is Charles. He wants to go on a journey around tumblr. could you show him around?
hey
hey friend
dont kill yourself tonight ok
you have a really pretty smile and i know its not always easy to manage one but itd be a bummer if we never had the chance to see it ever again
youre really important and you matter a lot so stay safe and try and have a nice sleep
Production Manager: here's the costume storage. What it lacks in convenience it makes up for in space.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
PLEASE SIGN AS MANY PEITIONS AS YOU CAN AGAINST THE KOSA BILL
IT. MUSN'T. PASS
USE THE TAGS. GET THEM TRENDING. SPREAD THESE LINKS AROUND.

That's all I have for now, let me know if there's more characters I should add!
As a past Assistant Stage Manager and now full-on Stage Manager for my high school theatre company, here's some things to know: (some of them aren't really ASM but these will be important once you're a full-on SM!)
The actors may think they are better than you. Do with that what you will.
As early as you can, type up (or find an already-typed document) of the script, so you can add all the cues and notes straight on and not have to messily scribble cues on a piece of paper. I colour-code mine, but you can do whatever you want.
Remember, communication is key! Make sure to stay in touch with other departments.
Once you have your typed document (or 'masterscript' as I call it) share it with EVERYONE. The director, the actors, all the other Stage Crew people, and ESPECIALLY your other SM(s).
Stay in contact with your director, and if they have plans for the actors, make sure to let them know as soon as possible.
You will need to come up with a lot of plans on the fly, so know as much as you can! You don't want to be in the dark about anything.
Prepare to wear a lot of hats and do a lot of jobs. As my theatre department has 24 members (cast+crew) I have to do multiple jobs, such as: Scriptwriter, Head of Set, Head of Props, Head (and only member :/ ) of Costumes, and of course, Stage Manager. On top of all that, I am also the only run crew so yay!
Although, if your theatre department is big enough, you will also be responsible for delegating responsibility. Before every rehearsal, go through a shape of the day with your director, and make sure everyone knows what they're doing and when.
Also, drink a lot of water and make sure to keep your voice healthy! The cast for my show is very rowdy, and I've strained my voice on multiple occasions trying to yell over them to get them to quiet down :,)
Anyways, have fun! The only way you can truly make a show good is if you are passionate about it! Being a Stage Manager, and all the responsibilities that come from it are usually overlooked, but at the end, you're helping run an incredible show! Good luck!
Hi! more of a question i have about theatre stuff!!
I just got picked to be the assistant stage manager for my schools show (the addams family) !! im a sophomore in high school and this will be my 2nd year doing theatre at my school; and i hope to apply/get stage manager next year !!
any advice? thank youu !!
Hi!! That's so exciting! (In fair warning, I've not personally worked in stage management, I've only done a course on it, so I've outsourced a lot of this from @manicpixiemonster)
"Enjoy paperwork."
More seriously, the SM team is the centerpoint of information in a production so Be Organized. (Personally I'm a color-coder, but the Best method is whatever one works best for you.) People will be coming to you for questions so be prepared (even if it's about the thing that you really did send three emails and four text messages about already)
This doesn't mean that you have to know everything automatically. If there's something you're wondering about, ask. Especially since you're still in school and (I am assuming here) fairly new to this, take it as a learning opportunity and get involved and ask questions rather than trying to blend into the background.
Be focused because you're a model of behavior for the cast and crew. You want to be approachable but also an authority figure in the room. (This can be tricky, especially in HS since theater tends to be a very social experience)
Confidence is key! And remember you've got a whole team (and production) working with you to make this show successful.
stay hydrated :) also if you've got one, wear a watch.
