my crew and i are generally pretty calm before a show, we have gone through the rush prior to a show when nothing is ready and things start going wrong enough times that unless its a huge production, we can usually remain calm and work quickly and diligently to solve the problems and be ready for the show. however, other people involved in the production are often not as used to the pre-show stress as we are and it effects our ability to do our work. these people are often crew that is specific to that show, teachers/students running the shows or performers in them.
what do you do to keep these people calm or at least keep them from interfering with your work?
