*Lightbulb*
I just had a thought. Someone (maybe Marty, but some tech director anyway) once told me about a fun concept. Essentially, at the end of the show you have a sort of… role reversal. The techies become actors and the actors become techies…. of course, it has to be well prepared and the techs have to set everything so that the actors can do it easily. Otherwise, you do it really low tech and don’t bother with complex sound/light cues.
Essentially, the techies go and do a mini-version of the play. Late at night before the strike, just for fun. Maybe we should do that for this show ;P. I wonder if I could convince Marty… I mean, he was pushing to get me to just be in a skit in Advanced Theater (tried to make Ms. Yolles say I couldn’t pass unless I did…). How could he refuse this… well, besides saying we don’t have enough tech and whatnot to do it.
Wait, I’ve got it…. One Man Les Mis (follow by one man trapped in the closet of course ;P).
Of course, I would still need to get over the whole stage fright thing, but since it would just be among friends and for fun I could probably do it.

That’s always fun. Though in my experience it’s just the techies doing the silly version of the show… the actors just sit and laugh.

Oh, so you’ve done it before?
I guess Marty doesn’t ALWAYS make stuff up ;P

It doesn’t happen often. It depends on your techies, and their interactions with the cast. I’ve done shows where the techies completely ignore that fact that actors exist. So obviously in that situation the silly show thing doesn’t happen.

Hmm… I just now made the connection in my head. This poast is called *lightbulb*, and its about a play that I’m working on…. and yet it has nothing (directly) to do with lighting. Wow, I must be more tired than I thought both to notice that and then to mention it.
ugh… dizzy
