stagefoot 🎭👣

I’m 36 and a proud IATSE member. I started messing around with theater in high school and I’ve been doing it professionally since 2008. Born to do lighting, forced to do AV.

I like to post about dumb theater-related shenanigans I’m a part of or witness.

"if it looks good and it doesn't smell, it's okay to put out!"

it was on a box of potatoes bc 95% of working in produce is just sniffing and poking things

Nooooo that’s horrifying!!! 🤣

Made sure it had a bulb

Made sure the bulb was screwed in

Flicked the switch back and forth a few times

Nothing

Changed the bulb

Still nothing

Hmm!!! 🤔

And I was like god this is stupid

*reads the Wikipedia article*

So dumb

*watches the first movie*

Awful

I would like to present my solution to tell my younger techs not to use a cable.

(it’s broken but still running through the snake box so we can’t get it out without help)

(it's now been months and i know for a fact other people have encountered it with no context and gone "uhhh okay")

(thought very hard about writing "transphobic" instead because the (cis) prod manager was using it no problem but decided the odds of that not landing well weren't worth it)

I’ve never seen the movie, but I worked on the show when it was in town years ago

Spouse: You could do that. Stagehand job.
