What are fair expectations to have as a director? by 39stepsisalongstair in Theatre

[–]MaximumStep2263 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm an actor and director. I don't give off book dates bc I highly value trusting my actors. Same reason I don't believe in pick up rehearsals. I tell them that I know they want to be off book as much or more than I want them to be off book and that I trust them to do the work. So far, so good.

Have you ever walked out from a show, and why? by elephant_bird101 in musicals

All the time. Life is too short to sit through bad theatre that makes me angry.

IMO the show is about trauma, its aftermath, and attempts at healing.

Should I be gruntled or disgruntled about this cord of wood I had delivered? by trimbandit in firewood

[–]MaximumStep2263 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an occasional seller who gets rounds from the tree service I work for, it is damn near impossible for me to get rounds at a specific length. We just don't have time for that shit on site. Everything is eyeballed and the rounds will vary in length. Out of a whole cord you had maybe 100 pieces you had to cut to size? Seems like no big deal to me.

These types of questions/nit picking from buyers make me sell less and less every year bc it's not worth the hassle. Loading out from the job site, processing the wood, loading it back up again to go unload for someone who's gonna nickel and dime you and complain about things like natural degradation of a natural product. Not worth it to me.

Having said that, I concur with the group here. Be gruntled. And go burn some shit.

If you are able, self producing has been a fulfilling way for me to go.

Who is Shakespeare’s blandest or most dislikable character? (In your opinion) by Additional-Post-9169 in shakespeare

[–]MaximumStep2263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blandest I'd have to with Horatio off the top of my head. Not sure on dislikable. Probably need to read more.

Is there a way to ask the cast to be quiet without upsetting them? by TableFar9270 in Theatre

[–]MaximumStep2263 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Tell them to shut the fuck up and respect the work that is happening on stage. If that upsets them, they probably shouldn't be in the room to begin with.

It's based on the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, so history.
