Lighting Programmer, visibly done: sir, you painted the entire stage and set pink. Your options are pink, purple, hell, and brown.

Tech Supervisor whispering to the LP with the air of a tired parent: hey, what do I always tell you about shutting [director] down?

LP, sighing: Show, don't tell?

TS: Right. Now get out there and show him what a bad idea that is!

please tell me there are professional tech theater people who are as insane about the content and concepts of different musicals the same way an ‘actor’ might be i just finished my last show and im so fucking scared of entering a world in which everyone just doesn’t care as much as i do about the Material
