   Day 3 of tech rehearsal. The tears have begun to fall. Hopefully the anxieties of performers can be solved with good catering.

     @GalacticTurtle So what is the best food for tears in showbiz backstagery?

     @polarisera @GalacticTurtle I've worked with a few people that could do with a helping of humble pie.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @polarisera Going by the vibe of the room I belive our more demanding performers have already been knocked down a few pegs by the director and are having an existential crisis.
     
     This can often be soothed with mac and cheese.

     @GalacticTurtle @polarisera I often thank the lord that I only do amateur theatre. One of our group's unofficial mottos is:
     Nobody is bigger than the show.
     The other is:
     We like our drama on the stage, not off the stage.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @polarisera Ha! At home I still try to do community theater when I can to I guess… recapture the feeling of youth theater participation even though it’s mostly crewed by retired grandpas and performed by 9-5 office workers who still desire to perform.

     @GalacticTurtle @polarisera Our group is lovely and has been going for nearly seventy years. In 2021 because of lockdown we were down to three members. We now have over twenty active members who act, direct, produce, do set, lighting, sound, costumes, props etc and we have a great time. Our youngest member is eight and our oldest in seventy-eight. Since our 2021 *show* with three of us doing it all we have done nine shows. We're well-supported in the village and hope to keep going.
