"Beat to fit. Paint to match."
"That's what gaff tape is for" (I've found myself using that a lot lately. The joys of working with a student crew...)We can make it look nice later. Besides, the audience is 30 feet away.
necroposting but so worth it.
A guy in my shop was complaining about his piece of wood not fitting right, and the guy who's been working here for 20 years leans over and says, "what? you cut it three times and its still too short? Unbelievable"
Had the rest of us rolling on the floor. Can't believe none of us had heard that one before, apparently its an oldie but goodie
Right up there with: "Well, you've done it again." Usually delivered with a firm hand-shake or hug during opening night parties without specifically clarifying if you feel they've done another great job as usual or blown it totally out of the water."We'll finish focusing tomorrow" - let's just say that focusing won't be finished tomorrow...
And the good ol' "One more time!"
The most common one at my theater is, "is it loadout yet?"What is the most common phrase one would say to techies before a show? I would guess not "good luck", but "break a leg" is only for actors, isn't it? Or maybe techies don't go for that sort of thing...I'm just looking to include everyone in pre-show well-wishing.
