When tech doesn’t get thanked...

I recently went to see a play at a large professional company about three hours from the city I am currently living in.

It was just my mom and I as we like to do a ‘girls trip’ every year to spend time together as my schedule is always consuming me and I don’t really have any free time.

So the story:

At intermission I stand up to stretch for a moment and look back at the (very large) booth, make eye contact with the stage manager and give her a smile and wave.

My mom then asks: Do they thank tech in curtain call here?

Me: I would hope so.

Intermission ends. We watch the rest of the show curtain call comes, the actors bow, wave to the audience then walk off stage.

Me: Uh, excuse you, director.

Mom: What?

Me: They didn't thank tech

Mom: Why?

Me: No idea but I’m gonna thank them.

Mom: Please don’t embarrass yourself.

I then turn around and face the booth (mind you there are about three rows of people behind me until you hit the booth).

I start clapping and making the little heart sign with my hands.

A few audience members look at me confused then look back at the booth.

Audience member: Oh there’s a crew member back there.

Me: Yeah that’s the stage manager, the show does not run without her.

Audience member: Do you know her?

Me: No, but she deserves and applause too.

Audience member: Ah, *Walks away*

Mom: Are you done? Can we go get desert and a drink now?

Me: No.

I then proceeded to go to every crew member I could find cleaning up and thanked them telling them they deserved to be thanked in curtain call. They all quietly agreed.

As I was leaving, I filled out a little comment card.

That said: “At the director: Thank your tech in curtain call! It doesn't matter if some of the audience won’t understand the gesture, but it is incredibly rude to not thank your crew and tech in curtain call. It ruined the show for me.”

My mom saw what I was doing and insisted I not fill out the card but I did. They’re anonymous anyway.

If I go to a theatre and they don't thank tech in curtain call. I will make a small scene.

Thank. Tech.

It takes two seconds.

Could you label who the drawings belong to? I'm so not good at differentiating handwriting/drawings haha

Sure! 

The comment card on the left in the above picture is from Kaoru, who is known for drawing Dir en grey as a “skewered quintet”/meatballs. Kaoru signed in Katakana. On the right, you have Kyo’s comment card which reads “Comment”, in Katakana, and he signed with the proper Kanji. 

Above, you can see another type of drawing by Kaoru (he signed in Katakana on the right margin of the comment card). Takoyaki is Osaka’s renowned dish, so he made a variant of his signature meatball drawing. As for Toshiya’s, at the bottom, I have to assume that it is his because the signature resembles the one on my poster the most, but it looks like he either wrote “AAA” to lengthen his name, or those are three stars ***

I guess that the members technically wrote those location notes at the very top of the comment cards too, though? It seems like Kaoru’s two comment cards have the same handwriting there, at least. So, officially, Kyo did not just write “Comment - Kyo”, I suppose hah.

If you’ve never heard of Dungeon Fighter Online, then google DFO and go give it a shot. DFO is a dungeon crawling hack and slash that has literally been one of my favorite games for the past seven years. Its classes are unique, its play-style is fun and you get the nostalgia factor with great 2D art and animation. My biggest con with the game however is the end-game farm. The RNG for getting end game equipment can be a turn-off for some. Anyways, go download and try it out!
