so i know that i'm more or less ready as a stage manager when two things happen
1) i find myself using quotes from the play in everyday life
i.e.
Sarah: Andrew (my brother) you are a girly-man even Kristen (my sister) could beat you up...
Andrew: !!! I am not!!!
Sarah: Calm down. Just kidding, Andrew. Badinage. You know, dialogue...

2) my brain functions as a mental dvd player. i can play, stop, fast forward, ect. the play from the comfort of my own head
-i am about to this level, i have a bit of trouble with the rewind function. when i try to do it the movement becomes a bit wonky...

bring it on,
i am ready for opening night!
