Duh.

And anything to the effect of "That worked perfectly" or "Nothing when wrong!" Because once you say that you're screwed.

Insulting the theatre ghost is usually a bad idea too.

Or, if you're a techie, "Actors, don't touch the props" because, to many actors, that means "Touch and break all these really expensive props that took hours to make!"


Psh. You know us. We're gonna break 'em anyway. Except for Shithead. He just moved them.

And me, seeing as I'm props mistress. But whatev.

"Of course we'll be using real sardines!"-for anyone who's worked on Noises Off


YESSS!!!

-"Swedish fish!"
Ok, that's kind of one for my theater, because everyone LOVES swedish fish, and whenever anyone says that everyone comes running. People get trampled, literally.


Ha. We deffinitely tried to use Swedish Fish as our sardines in Noises Off.
Uhm, sprat paint doesn't stick to gummy material well. At all.

"Well let's make it more authentic..." That usually results in something being burnt, or somebody getting tipsy.
"We can find another costume!"
"Guess who's in the audience tonight?"

an actor: "I don't need anything, I am prepared and ready for this show"

a Techie: "I'm happy with all the actors"

Every single one of those apply to the last show I was in. Especially the burning things and getting tipsy. We ACTUALLY burned the dollhouse after we were through with the Secret Garden. And we were pretty much all drunk while it happened.

"Sure! I don't have any plans this weekend."
"So fly rail....which way makes it go down?"
"Screw the director. It's technically the stage manager's show after opening anyway, right?"
"I hate that freaking techie"

"Hey, where's my prop/costume/cue?"

"Which way do I flip the switch again?"

"Where's [insert name here]? S/he's on in 5!!!"

This happens a deplorable amount in my school productions. talk2hand

~Wow, I don't think we can do any better with that scene!
~Good luck (obvious, but it had to be put)
~Don't worry everything will go fine!

Oh the stories behind these...*headxdesk*

"Oh yeh, we'll only need the one evening to tech."

"Sure, you can run back up to the dressing room. We've only just been given beginners."

Unfortunately, both are things I've heard been said during my last production.
