Am I the asshole for telling my SM that I will not and cannot move Props load in for the biggest show of the school year to 2-3 days sooner because as it stands we have 300 bottles that need labels and if they really wanted to move it they should’ve brought it up at the beginning of the year and not TWO WEEKS before load in?
So out of curiosity, wolf anyone be interested in like. A podcast about Tech theatre? Kind of like this post I made forever ago that blew up
[IMAGE ID: tumblr user 5-to-places: You know what I want? I want a show in the Style of The Office, only it follows a production team at a theatre. Have like, an SM, some designers, front of house, an electrician, board ops, a Michael Scott-esque director who has all these big ideas, and actors that would cycle through every half season or at the end of the season. Idk just an idea. END IMAGE ID]
I’m kinda thinking of making it, but in an audio format, maybe framing it in the way of a Stage Manager who records production meetings, mixed in with phone calls and things like that.
This is what I’m thinking:
[IMAGE ID: Discord user Kestrel (They/He): So what I’m thinking is a podcast that follows a Tech crew at a theatre company, and I want it to have sort of SF (Stellar Firma) vibes but it’ll be scripted. It’d mostly focus on tech crew, but there will obviously be a director, a few actors, etc. And the director has sort of Michael Scott vibes in the way of big ideas and no realistic way to achieve them, And the actors of varying degrees of coolness ranging from ‘neat actor who helps out sometimes and generally gets along with tech’ to Actor™️ (trademark emoji).
In terms of Tech characters I for sure want a design team (Scenic, Costume, Lighting, and Sound), a Props Master bc of course, a Tech Director, and maybe some scenic carpenters, stitches, and electricians. And a Stage Manager. END IMAGE ID]
I’m not gonna say its definitely gonna be a thing, but I would love to do it if there’s an interest in it, so like. Let me know in the replies/reblogs!
