Crew Things

  • *holds out hand* “Keys??”
  • insulting the ellipsoidals when you can’t open them
  • running places because it’s more practical
  • getting really excited about a light color or special
  • exploring the costume room
  • *someone waving at booth from the stage* *booth excitedly waves back*
  • bouncing in sync during long stretches without cues
  • having fun haunting the theater
  • sitting in the dark is the norm
  • hearing only parts of the actor’s conversations and wondering what on Earth is going on
  • peering down at the audience and trying to count them before the show starts
  • grinning even though it’s an upsetting scene because of how cool a light cue looked
  • choking back laughter during a funny scene or when actors successfully improvise

honestly i am just the fakest bitch ALIVE when i’m tryna convince people to come see the show i’m working on.

“it’ll be great!!!” i say. like bitch, our set ain’t done, you nearly killed six actors this week alone, the tech choices are questionable at best, the cast still don’t know their lines, and we are working with a budget of negative three dollars and anxiety alone, shut up

I think the most important thing I’ve learned in technical theatre is how to carry large awkwardly shaped things unnecessarily long distances.

listen okay i know that that ferris wheel kiss was the iconic and epic and perfect and beautiful mainstream gay kiss we needed, but you know what really got to me when it came to simon and bram in the movie?

it was that super casual “good morning boyfriend” peck right at the end.

because i was prepared for the brilliance of seeing this huge epic love story played out in a mainstream movie with gay leads. i was prepared to see a groundbreaking climax that will become an iconic scene in queer cinema. with all my hype and excitement for love simon and the significance of it, i was - mostly - prepared for that.

what i was less prepared for was remembering that this mainstream teen movie finishes up with a relationship that’s familiar, and sweet, and blissfully, beautifully ordinary. love simon has changed lives with its power to normalise queer relationships, but let’s be honest, riding around on a ferris wheel for hours until your email boyfriend shows up at the last second to kiss you isn’t exactly the normal romantic experience.

greeting your boyfriend with a cup of iced coffee and a kiss, however? that’s romance as the world at large knows it. and maybe this is silly of me, but in all the holy freaking awesomeness that was the plot of this story, i kind of forgot that the world of mainstream teen cinema was, in that two second quick peck, about to see its first breathtakingly normal gay kiss between its lead characters.

i don’t know, i just kind of loved it.

So how come when Simon Spier wears denim jeans and a denim jacket it’s “cool” and “gay culture” but when I wear it it’s “too much denim” and “why are you wearing jeans and a jacket in May in Texas you’re going to die”
