Favorite way to waste time during rehearsal
« on: June 14, 2017, 08:18:07 PM »

What are your favorite ways to waste time during an excruciatingly long tech rehearsal where you have nothing to do but wait for the director to make art?  :'(


Some of mine:


Surf PSW and the DUC
Post pics of the rehearsal on FB
Finish reading the script
Go into preview and finish programming​ the rest of the show
Try to decipher the nonsensical gibberish that the lighting​ department is yammering about on coms
Catch a power nap
Work on paper work for the next show
Look for/apply for another job
Weigh the pros and cons of updating some kind of important piece of gear or software during the rehearsal

Email, scheduling other gigs, Facebook, paperwork, processing bills....  wishing I was anywhere else.

Develop recipes for The Cannibal Kitchen Channel.
This goes along with another I thought about: design an unnecessarily complicated Rube Goldberg-like death machine into which to feed this production's scenic designer who thinks he's God's gift to theatre.

You always have to do the right thing, but that's not enough. You have a job where people have to trust you. You have to LOOK like you're doing the right thing.
