Depends. Am I working on them? Then no. Am I not working on them? Yes.
I've worked on Evita (poorly executed), Gypsy (Damn the set to hell), Fiddler on the roof (Buncha dumbasses on crew [which I am]), and now Jekyll & Hyde, which is only stupid because we have 2 directors working on it, and one bitches about how the lights and sounds are wrong. So, like, a mic isn't on, I get yelled at, and I sit there going, "Fine, you run the sound board. I don't think you can." The other director, who is my Drama teacher, has actually sat next to the sound booth and has actually helped me with the cues. "Let's see. I can't quite hear Poole. Ah, there you go." Plus, there's the fact that about 4 or 5 actors just don't project. And finally, one actor's a douche-tard. The other actors HAND in their mics and say, "Thanks for running sound" after each runthrough. Then there's one who places his mic on the board and doesn't bother to acknowledge us, so I ask him where his mic is and he starts yelling at me that he turned it in. Which, technically, he didn't. He put it on the sound board and expected us to pick it up. And an extra note, I've had only 2 meals in the last 2 days (Lunch) because there's been a few actors who don't bother to turn in their mics before dinner. So I sit in the sound booth waiting for their mics for 30 minutes. Then we start the run and they have their mics. And I'm hungry. D:
