Why is this true?

my 2.9k will agree. one moment it"s a seggs song the next it's "can you feel the love tonight" then it's so.ething 'satanic' and then something absolutly goofy

[@MayonnaiseJane]

Yep. I AM doing this show. If you don't cast me, that's cool, the SM will put me on running crew every time... except that time they made me the ASM. Lol.

[@jennenny87]

Right? They forgot the one who is mic'd backstage while also managing props because they "didn't look the part" but no one actually on the stage can harmonize.

[@abbalotl]

techies deserve more recognition 😔

[@MayonnaiseJane]

Every actor should do tech at least once as a requirement for acting. So you know from experience exactly why you need to LISTEN to your crew!
