Dearest Martha,
I have found myself back in the candy mines. Everything is familiar yet strange. The small pages to the queen are terrible carriage drivers and I know not how they are handle the horses. They pay no attention to the road and only speak among themselves.

Who really doesn’t know his left from his right. Or how to keep his mouth shut. Or know when to read the room.
OK FINE YOU MIGHT HAVE A POINT

During battle I have to pull a lighting truss out of place- there is always so much traffic and it’s hard to see that one of the carps usually helps me clear the path.
Today there was no one there. We looked at each other and said in unison “where the hell IS everybody?”

Me and some carpenters are behind a scenic wagon. All hands are at head level to stabilize it and our heads are down to keep from being blinded or being seen by the audience.
One guy looks down the line and says “it looks like we are all being arrested”
He wasn’t wrong.

The baby mice are required to hold their tails up when not onstage.
They are not required use them to fence with other baby mice. Yet here we are.
Then you have the one kid who is chasing her tail because she doesn’t know how else to reach it.

While waiting for a massive scenic wagon to clear I find myself huddled next to the Snow Queen.
For the record she asked ME “Come here often?”
My response was along the lines of “Yeah, I have an aversion to being run over”
We both got a good laugh out of the moment.

Sensory friendly performance.
Show is nice and short but we get asked to make changes like “take 45 seconds off this scenic shift” with a “btw you’re not gonna get a rehearsal for this”
But hearing the kids who otherwise might not get to enjoy it, makes it worth it.

Dancers are similar to horses in that if you walk too close behind one you just might get kicked in the face.
This is not an insult, but knowledge you take your safety in your own hands.
We play a different version of Whamageddon here.
Tonight, I lost.
She was very sorry

A coworker just had the nightmare happen. While ONSTAGE behind scenery waiting for a cue HIS PHONE GOES OFF.
The look of horror on his face was pretty hilarious but was nothing compared to the look the rest of us onstage had whose expression was “thank god it wasn’t me!”

Had a honest to god real “no, after YOU” standoff.
Neither Drosslemeyer or the prop guy who does a puppet bunny wanted to get into their hole first. Each wanted to wait til the other was settled in their place.
Stage management arbitrated like they were both 5 years old.

One of the Mama G performers hasn’t figured out that he’s supposed to shower the crew with love on one of his rotations.
Now it’s a campaign to get him to notice us. Stage right and left will have a friendly competition for his affection.
I expect all out war soon enough.

The kids usually start off the show run timidly and get looser before someone has to put the fear of god back into them a week before the end of the run.
We may be speed running this process this year. The sass and energy levels are already off the charts

One of my very favorite things that happens every show, our stage manager takes a breath. Just after bringing the house lights to half and tuning the orchestra but before the barrage of top of show standbys to say “ok everyone, let’s go to work”

The thing I have long feared has happened. The crew has decided MY desk is the place to put treats. So I have tons of yummy looking desserts sitting at my desk.
I mean, yeah sure people come and eat them and they dwindle. But in the meantime, they sit.
AND THEY TAUNT ME.
