@Nabisco: Jesus Christ, the spambots have been hitting this one thread all day. I should just lock it off.

@Benedick: Thanks. I'm practically guaranteed to have fun, whatever else might happen. @Promnight: That romance is as far away as your nearest no-budget theater. Volunteers pretty much always wanted, and often the jobs that need the most help are the least skilled.

@Promnight: I was writing something all… I don’t know? if I had it all to do over…? Bunny, pass the port…

But that’s not honest – to be blasé. I find the theatre infinitely fascinating. Everything about it. And I feel very lucky to have been able to hold out this long.

@Benedick: You show biz people, we mortals can only envy the romance of the stage. Seriously.

@IanJ: That's true everywhere. And doing it for love is a priviledge. I've done more or less everything around a stage in my time. Scariest job was running sound in a show with a lot of thunderclaps. I love techs. I adore everything about them. The late-night thing and the feeling of belonging. Sitting in the dark waiting for it all to happen. Have fun. I envy you.

@Benedick: Fortunately, the actors and the director and everyone involved are all delightful to work with. The schedule is highly compressed, which allows me little margin for error. One of the joys of fringe theater in Seattle is that everyone's doing it because they love it. We have nearly zero budget and we don't get paid, but it's a pretty good volunteer gig.

@IanJ: Enjoy it as it comes. It will never come again. For good or ill. That's the enormous gift of the theatre. It happens right now. Just don't take shit from the actors. Remember, if they had anything better to do they wouldn't be actors.

@Benedick: Raar. I'll be fine, it's more just annoyance at the incredibly compressed schedule.

@IanJ: So you'll get prepared.. and you will be nervous... and will so kick ass. Good luck. Don't fuck up. P.S. Stage managers are so hot. I don't know why that is. But it is.
