I hope there hasn't been a thread on this somewhere else that I'm missing.
Do you guys out there have traditions that you do before each show/just traditions in your theater, etc?
I'll start.
>Before each show, all of the booth crew licks a 9-Volt battery :shock:
>Every Saturday night show (our shows run Thursday-Friday-Saturday), the Booth Crew and select backstagers paint their faces with blue acrylic (acrylic.) paint to WOAD, which is basically the facepaint that they had in Braveheart. (Note to everyone: Acrylic is a PAIN to get off of your face. Just a little.)
>For SOME reason, at some point we acquired a gobo of crucified Jesus. Don't ask me why; keep in mind, we are a public school. Anyways, tradition dictates that the seniors each year hide the gobo somewhere in the auditorium, and leave vague clues for the rest of tech to find it.
The only semi-tradition we have is that if you're in the booth, you're SUPPOSED to buy/wear a black flight suit...but now everyone is lame, and I'm the only one who still does it. (The people who initiated it, during tech's "glory days," have since graduated. LAME.)
So, what about you all? I'm sure with all the crazy techies (technicians) out there, that there will be some crazy hijinks to follow. (If I think of any more, I'll be sure to post them too)
