Boy, we have a lot of traditions at our school. Well, there's not much pre-show tradition for tech like there is for actors, but there's a lot that we do during/after the show.
Well, in the booth during those long, boring plays with few cues, it has become tradition to
throw balls of duct or
gaffers tape on the cieling of the booth and try to get other stuff to stick to it.
During the summer, when we do a musical(which spans 2 weekends), we always have a brush up rehearsal, which, sometime in the 90's was turned into what we
call bananna rehearsal the cast and crew change the
props and costumes slightly, and its really great. Like for es Miserables, all of the ABC cafe members had sock caps, and they stuffed them with blankets so they'd stick straight up during the really emotional scene with Marius. heh.
Well, there are some more, like every show, somebody always manages to stick the playbill and random prop in a really hard to reach place up by the
loading dock with loads of
duct tape. Anyway, this post is getting kind of lengthy, and seeing as that's hardly even a fraction of our traditions, I'll cut it short here. Man, my school's built off of tradition.
