How the popular Christmas carol would go, if it was written by a stage manager:

On the twelfth day of tech week, my producer gave to me:

12 Dimmers blowing

11 Flymen flying

10 Gels a-burning

9 Channels buzzing

8 Props a-breaking

7 Actors missing

6 Gobos melting

5 minute call!

4 Cues at once

3 Red Bulls

2 ASMs

And an endless supply of coffee!

Happy Holiday’s to all, but especially to all of the stage managers and technicians out there grumbling “Of COURSE Christmas Eve would fall on a dark day anyway…”
(As written by David Liotta)
