You realize why you did not hear such a techie quote as "Move with a Purpose" don't you? What do you think your director is telling the actors on stage also?

Our TD never usually deals with actors one on one, we have separate directors for that. Anyways i know of a few schools where that saying is repeated. Anyways, the director for the actors at our school usually spends most of her time trying to teach the actors to keep going after the mess up, not to linger.

One of my favorite stage managers does the clear com checklist, then just before he calls the first cue, he asks for a "whoa bundy!" We all do it, and he calls the cues.

I always liked Alan Shepherd's pray, "Oh Lord, do not let me screw up."

"We are not building the god **** Taj Mahal"

"Curvature of the Earth"

"Measure twice cut thrice."

We had a tradition of rapping "Good Day" before a show

Also have done "Whoa Bundy" and also "Go, Bayside"
