Sounds like a nice run.Originally Posted by Magic Hans
I was a stage manager/assistant stage manager for near to 15 years - the range of things that can go wrong is amazing - so here is a sample of my adventures
having to raise a chandiler 5 minutes before 1/2 call so that dancer wouldn't hit it when doing a grand jump
having front of house curtain catch and rip and not opening all the way - was fixed by a stage hand catching back on the other side - and having another one put a ladder over my head and going along railing to release the curtain
having actors rearrange the script at a critical point in the script for lighting cues
have a gel frame fall out of the lighting rig and nearly take out an actor
screaming match between designer and production manager in theatre that was broadcast on the inhouse tannoy system
