Tech Worries:

What's my cue?

What should I be doing now?

How do I get my cues?

What scene is this?

Which table/chair is it again?

Did they say the cue?

It's getting crowded back here.

I have a question who can I go to?

Do I enter upstage or down?

Where can I find X?

I cant get to X with so many people in the way.

IDK how to preset this.

Actors are exiting the same spot where I am suppose to enter with set/prop.

Theres x of this. Which one is it.

What's the "Grotto" again?

Where is X being stored offstage?

Where can I hangout between my cues?

Do I have enough time for x, y, and z before my cue?

What's the scene change suppose to look like?

Is it that actor or that actor that I'm handing off (prop) to?

Who's going on for who?

This Cue/Job list is too long to fit in my pocket.

Who is helping me with this cue?

Do I leave the stage after doing my set change?

I cant remember where to position it. Can I have a spike for it?

(Set/Prop) is breaking what can I do to fix it for tonight?

I need tools/materials. Where can I retrieve them.

If X and Y entered, does that mean we are at scene Z?

Who can I address my questions and concerns to?

There are three kinds of actors:

Those who say/sing their lines during soundcheck

Those who just say/sing something random

Those who tell terrible jokes

4. Those who forget how to speak and just say "hi" a singular time into the microphone.

5. The actor who "I dont know what to say".
