Heres a better question, do any of you 'bond' with the crew out side of the show like play mini golf or bowl? I hang out with some friends from crew but not every one, I was woundering id anyone did this as a unit. ALso for this show there must of been some strong anti-actor feelings becasue every time we got notes the "its not us VS them thing" came up. SO what about the cast?

well up until this last year when i graduated the techs were one big family, we were always togeater, hung out at one of the local coffee shops a lot, there isn't much of an actor vs techie feud, we didn't hand out as much with the actors as with the other techs, but we didn't have any problems. As far as college, everyone acts, i'm the only 100% techie at my school, so i hang out with the actors a lot, most of them treat me like a god, cause i'm the only tech, it's kind of funny.

I have never heard of such a thing... what exactly is the point of a crew night? Is it for fun or work? Sounds interesting.

we dont really have that, most of our crew acts too. except maybe.... 8 people. so we just have stuff with the actors, or just get together our self. We dont really have actor vs. techie problum. Except one actor is an A******, but none of the other actors like him either.

My school is small enough that most of the people who help me out, are the same people i have classes with, so i get to know them there.

Im 15 and once again we also usually strike untill midnight ish and go out and see a movie and grab something to eat and usually get home around 2 or 3 and our crew is only like 9 people so we are all really close. My parents had a problem with it at first but after a while they just looked at is as normal. But I know if they could have their way i would be home at 7 every night.

Usually our plays show thursday through saturday, and on the Friday after the show, we all go down to Denny's (around 11:00 PM)

Last year, during Alice in Wonderland, our theatre manager bought the crew bunny ears, so we went into Denny's last year in stageblacks wearing bunny ears.. it was great 8)

This year after macbeth, those of us who could find them, wore the ears again and we got some funny looks.. good times indeed.

LOL that's great!

(Driving from our place to the movies and back (never mind seeing a movie) would take from 12 till 2! Enjoy living where there is actually stuff to do! (that same time frame goes for the nearest Denny's :-/ ))

The closest thing we have had to your bunny ears are pins that said "Friends of Fenwick" that we were supposto wear a few days before our production of "The Mouse that Roared". It didnt really happen b/c everyone was dissapointed and upset with the show (This was the show that the director yelled so much, 1/2 of the cast walked out 2 weeks before opening). The ears are defanatly a great idea (the perfect antenas for headsets if you ask me :-) )

walking into walgreens right after a show has to be one of the funnest things we've done, around 12 of us walked on togeater, all in black, the security guard flipped out, and a lot of people were giving us weird looks, and some were definetly scarred, but then we just bought some pop and chips for the company party and everyone had a relived look on their face.
