friendly reminder to all to consider how renovations affect the rest of the complex when scheduling them!!!

realized retroactively that buying my team of three solvent-grade respirators out of my own pocket was THE correct call when i showed up at the space + the music director’s was particulate-grade. i got within ten feet of the loading door and the fumes were already overwhelming.

now i just need the reviews to drop 👀

my dad was more excited to toast to my first major regional scenic design this weekend on a show he has openly hated for three decades than he was to toast at my wedding to his favorite son-in-law

censorship bar but make it fashion

nyc ruined me on bagels. i had to figure out how to bake them with that texture at home. (the trick is boiling for two minutes on each side instead of one)

gonna chalk this one up as a win + move on

she sent an apology email this morning lol instead of apologizing, i explained myself, my logic, + that my tone is often more indicative of my stress level due to environmental factors than my personal feelings toward her or anyone + she thanked me???

pouring one out for the kids who will never know the satisfaction of perfectly crafting an important email

i don’t interrupt their rehearsals + i would appreciate the same consideration!!!

Not sure if this guy was any good as a mayor but he’s a hall of fame hater and we applaud him for it

there are very few days that make me want to quit theatre entirely, but the director lecturing me like a teenager about having an attitude the moment i stop being bubbly bc i’m frustrated that people won’t stop trying to ask me design questions while i’m trying to technical direct is one of them

i’m certainly not complaining that these people think i’m a superhero for having the most basic scenery possible ready for day one. i’m just doing exactly what i was trained to do, but i’ll take it.

+ i’m super used to companies rehearsing on unfinished sets as i’m completing them bc they ONLY rehearse on the sets at new jewish! the stage managers rarely ever have to tape out a set over there. we RACED to get decks + indications of wall placement ready for them!

mind you, they didn’t know that when they hired me. the artistic director was the maestro for Pinafore with a different opera company + liked my work on that enough to cold email me four months later.

this whole process everyone has been telling me it’s so fast like i don’t understand how fast it is + i’m just like ma’am i technical directed 13 shows in eight weeks for four summers where we had a show going into tech every 48 hours i’ve got this

None of this would be happening. None of it. We could have had a reality where none of this was happening.

(tarot reader flips over card called "Poster's Downfall") is that good

i started replying to anxious apologies with reassurance that they have not wronged me + don’t owe me an apology + most people find comfort in it but a few people have straight up yelled at me + i’m always confused

that's it missy if you don't stop self-deprecating on main right this instantly im putting you inside of The Cube

sheltering in place in the opera warehouse, hope we make it home tonight 😅

holy shit i neeeed to know

someone liked this tweet + now i’m thinking about it again aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

i hateeeeee it here
