So out of curiosity, wolf anyone be interested in like. A podcast about Tech theatre? Kind of like this post I made forever ago that blew up

[IMAGE ID: tumblr user 5-to-places: You know what I want? I want a show in the Style of The Office, only it follows a production team at a theatre. Have like, an SM, some designers, front of house, an electrician, board ops, a Michael Scott-esque director who has all these big ideas, and actors that would cycle through every half season or at the end of the season. Idk just an idea. END IMAGE ID]

I'm kinda thinking of making it, but in an audio format, maybe framing it in the way of a Stage Manager who records production meetings, mixed in with phone calls and things like that.

This is what I'm thinking:

[IMAGE ID: Discord user Kestrel (They/He): So what I'm thinking is a podcast that follows a Tech crew at a theatre company, and I want it to have sort of SF (Stellar Firma) vibes but it'll be scripted. It'd mostly focus on tech crew, but there will obviously be a director, a few actors, etc. And the director has sort of Michael Scott vibes in the way of big ideas and no realistic way to achieve them, And the actors of varying degrees of coolness ranging from 'neat actor who helps out sometimes and generally gets along with tech' to Actor™️ (trademark emoji).

In terms of Tech characters I for sure want a design team (Scenic, Costume, Lighting, and Sound), a Props Master bc of course, a Tech Director, and maybe some scenic carpenters, stitches, and electricians. And a Stage Manager. END IMAGE ID]

I'm not gonna say its definitely gonna be a thing, but I would love to do it if there's an interest in it, so like. Let me know in the replies/reblogs!

oh to be a lighting engineer in 1971 and to make one of the first interlocking systems ever work

When a theatre throws an opening night party and you have a full blown lights and sound system setup. We don’t mess around with our parties 🤟🏼😎🤟🏼

WAIT WHIZZY YOUR USERNAME IS TECHNICALLY WHIZZY BECAUSE YOU DO THEATRE TECH

YES THATS THE ENTIRE POINT MY DUDE OMG YOURE THE FIRST PERSON TO NOTICE THAT IM CRYING—

proof that the tech runs in the family:

my uncle used to do theatre tech in NYC (yes he did a lil broadway) and he has tons of gels, so we used them to make fake stained glass

Long story short I’m in charge of getting an outdoor light show set up at work for Christmas (planning/purchasing/programming way in advance because we’ve never had this before) and a very evil part of me wants to put Wham!’s “Last Christmas” in the rotation and see how many people I get to fail Whamaggedon.

Especially if it just so happens to come up during the big grand illumination event with over a thousand people in attendance. 

I will, of course, have already lost, but it could potentially be worth it.

Technician Friend: My girlfriend said I smelled like a lightbulb...

Bossman: What does that mean?

Technician Friend: I'm not sure, but I told her it was a lamp.

LB: I don’t like spreadsheets, they’re annoying.

Admin: I like spreadsheets.

LB: You’re a Stage Manager, that doesn’t count.

When you’re focusing lights but you’d rather be playing in the snow... ❄️ ⛄️

I don’t think I’ll ever get over the awesomeness of sitting on one side of the theater and seeing a moving light on the complete opposite side of the space move as I tell it to.

Here's to the Theatre Majors

-whose parents told them they wouldn't pay for college if they majored in theatre (this actually happened to a friend if mine, it made me sick to my stomach when they told me) -who are constantly lectured on the importance of "fallback careers" -who constantly hear "it's never too late to change your major" -who always get the response of "theatre....cool...." when they tell people -who are asked if they're going to get a "real job" -who constantly hear about the "starving artist" stereotype I'm only just starting college so feel free to add what I missed, but here's to the Theatre Majors, let's prove them all wrong guys
