I actually run the crew at my local middle school. (our production of grease had 2 1/3 turn tables that we had to load from under a 3 foot platform -not fun btw..., a garage door, a full size foam car on casters, two hinged walls on either side of the side of the proscenium and at least 4 flown items) This whole thing, including the fly's were run by 8 6th-8th grade students with me supervising. I am proud to say the actors and the shows producers recognize the work done by the crew, the builders and the technical crew. It makes me sad when I hear of theaters where the tech crew does not get recognized so good on these guys!

However, in some instances like dance concerts or musicals, you might start in Cue 101 and then start the next song at Cue 201, and so on.

I KNOW RIGHT

As a person who does theatre, I would just like to thank any and every person who does any sort of backstage work for any shows. Us actors and actresses may memorise the lines and "put on" the show, but the crew is the reason the show goes on in the first place. Without crew there's no lights, no sound. There's no set if the crew sets the set. Sometimes people miss their queues because the crew makes sure that people are where they need to be. Every little thing that isn't a person onstage is crew and that's pretty damn amazing.

"If he doesn't say go at exactly the right time, we fly off the stage!" **crowd laughs** That's not funny. I'm a little horrified. He's totally right, those turntables are actually a very dangerous and very complicated bit of machinery and have to be called perfectly. If anything goes wrong, they could cause very serious problems. There's so much that goes on behind scenes that people don't understand. And when you have big, intense numbers like this, THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON ON THOSE HEADSETS. I wish more shows did something to make techies' jobs more known and their importance more known.

They are extremely dangerous and temperamental. I worked as a techie assistant/apprentice and one day during rehearsal the turntable desided to break by stopping and then suddenly lurching and throwing everyone on it off. from where we operate we can't see much of the stage so we just listen over the radio for cues so we did know that it wasn't working and just heard the panic from the cast. After this we got a bigger window which did help prevent some accidents.

(The biggest crowd I’ve performed in front of) Obviously it wasn’t a huge crowd or huge musical as there’s as we were only kids at the time (11 and 12 year olds) but we were so scared to have to dance, act and sing while those turntables were moving because ANYTHING could go wrong like you’ve said and it’s absolutely terrifying! And on top of that during our performance we did a whole new world which meant we had a “magic carpet” so there was a lot of dangerous tech on that stage and a lot of people watching so it’s scary because we don’t want to get hurt but we also don’t want the audience and our family and friends witnessing it! so yeah😂

Dank MiMi because Jon Rua is perfect in every way

Me, an aspiring stage manager, being proud of myself at being able to understand the cues. (I have stage managed three shows but that was two school shows and an amateur panto, which we did cues differently because our kit isn’t as good and we have considerably less cues, I was mainly just telling them when the stage was ready for the lights to go up and music start and they went from there. So I only cued them in scene changes. Also, I’m 15 and first started tech when I was 12 because I used to dance in the shows but developed stage fright and feel safer backstage in the dark. So yes, I went from performing and having an okay amount of confidence to becoming shy and anxious and invisible.)

i'm a stage manager for a play and it is one of the hardest job eveeeeeeer cry

As a stage manager, this makes me so happy and blows my mind at the amount of cues he has to call

The DSM/SM has so much power. It's great. Personally I love being on the fly floor and listening over cans to "Fly 1 stand-bye" Me: "Standing By" "Fly go" Me: Lowers/hoists the thing. The physicality of flying is just really nice. Plus you get a great view :D
