Oh, I love a technical!

They said "bring a book". I did that.

They said "wear comfortable clothes" I did that.

They said "be patient and flexible!" I am doing that.

However.... A tech rehearsal is rarely- nay, never a super fun experience. I can't think of a time when a ten out of twelve (def: a rehearsal that is scheduled for twelve hours with a two hour break for dinner) was scheduled and I thought to myself "Yipee! This is gonna be great!!!" You're either sitting around waiting to go onstage or onstage waiting on a hold. When the house lights are down, you can't read. You can text, but if the people ain't talkin' then they ain't talkin'. Alas, a ten out of twelve isn't a magical experience- but what am I gonna do? Complain I have a job?

So there ya go.
