What happens on headset stays on headset.<\/p>\n
Unless it’s really funny and not insulting to anyone.<\/p>\n
In our show there’s a scene where Romeo and the Nurse are talking for a while and Perrin (our combined Capulet servant character) is hanging out on the staircase for the whole scene. Today I noticed she was eating something, or appearing to at least, so I asked Nick and our local prop person, Sara, what she was eating. Neither of them knew — apparently it’s a personal prop that was added just before we opened. <\/p>\n
Nick suggested, “maybe she’s schmacting” — i.e. only pretending to be eating.<\/p>\n
To which Steph (our light board op) says, “Well if she’s pretending to eat, wouldn’t that be ‘snackting?'”<\/p>\n
Not bad at all for a 10:30AM show.<\/p>\n
Incidentally, I hear the term “back acting” a lot (in the context of when it’s OK to turn upstage in a scene), but never hear it called “backting.” If nobody has beaten me to it, I hereby coin the term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
