Any dramatic series the producers want us to take seriously as
a representation of contemporary reality cannot be taken seriously
as a representation of anything - except a show to be ignored
by anyone capable of sitting upright in a chair and chewing gum
simultaneously. -- Richard Schickel
It's kind of fun to do the impossible. -- Walter Elias Disney
Listen to the stage manager and get on stage when they tell you
to. No one has time for the rock star bullshit. None of the techs
backstage care if you're David Bowie or the milkman. When you
act like a jerk, they are completely unimpressed with the infantile
display that you might think comes with your dubious status. They
were there hours before you building the stage, and they will
be there hours after you leave tearing it down. They should get
your salary, and you should get theirs. -- Lollapalooza Alumni
Henry Rollins
'Music is the space between the notes.' -- C. Debussy
Lighting Design is the space between the photons. -- Benjamin
Hay
The Critic is the one who surprises the playwright by informing
him of what he meant -- Wilson Mizner
Theatre is Life with the dull bits cut out. -- Alfred Hitchcock
There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost
deserved it. -- C. S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia
Give me a long enough lever and I'll move the world. Give me enough
string, sash pulleys and door closers and I'll mount EFX for you.
-- Kit Lane
