Actors: “We need a mic change! My tape is coming off!”

Entire Crew: *furiously singing bet on it from high school musical 2*

“Excuse my feet”

I can’t believe a humble security guard saved our planet from the aliens.

Theatre Roles for Dummies

So, what I’ve gathered from being in theatre so far is this:

The actors are the ones who usually mess things up. Like, if something goes wrong, 98% of the time it was an actor’s fault.

The backstage crew are the ones who are supposed to make things happen invisibly and silently, so basically magically, and they have the most miracles happen to them, but when things do go wrong for them, things go terribly wrong.

The directors are the ones who ruin people’s self esteem, but eventually are forgiven because everyone knows the stress of putting on a show.

There’s the stage managers who have the pressure of the backstage crew, are at the receiving end of director crap like the actors, but get just as easily ticked off as the director, because that’s basically what they are, the backstage director.

Every once in a blue moon there’s the dude-bro preteen or the completely ignorant and curious small child who manage to find their way backstage and have to either endure the wrath of the director, or, in one specific case that I can think of, be scared off by an actor who just happens to be carrying a shank and heading towards them in character. (That actor was me.)

And then there’s the booth techies. These guys just sit up there, and they have jobs, but most of the time they’re just cracking dirty jokes over the headsets.
