*snerk*

So yesterday I was walking in the hall after the show and I hear one of my young actors loudly explaining to his grandparents; "You see, there is this word that you can't say because it's a really bad word, but everyone backstage has been saying this really bad word all the time and - "
So I pause and I call over "Don't worry about it, we'll deal with it tomorrow."

His grandmother's face nearly splits open with relief. "Oh good," she sighs. "You know about this?"

That is when it dawned on me and I found myself standing in the middle of the hallway in the Performing Arts Center explaining loudly for grandmother and all the other parents to hear:

"The really bad word that you can't say is not, repeat NOT the F-Bomb! It's only MacBeth! Not the F-Bomb!"

LOL. Why can't they say MacBeth? Is that bad luck or something?

So, YOU’RE the reason I had a dimmer lock on during last night’s show! (just kidding)

I’m ME and Light board op for the show. Yesterday, the curtain was down, and all of a sudden I hear over the headset the ASM asking why an electric was coming to the deck.

Um… very good question, actually. Nothing major, the works on the third were locked on, so my SM jut brought the third in and unplugged the works. It’s still disconcerting to hear over the headset that electrics are moving a minute after the show was supposed to be open.
