 ten stories on repeat--when a stagehand tells the same 10 stories about him/herself over and over again. A precursor to anecdotage.

asshole move--when one department in a theater intentionally blocks another department from getting their work done.

Term of the Day: shush Nazi, shush police

Term of the Night: deaf and dumb (D & D)

deaf and dumb (D & D)-- an old longshoreman's term. "He's deaf and dumb, he didn't hear anything and can't say anything about it."

Term of the Night: to go souveniring

to go souveniring--when small props, pieces of perishable props or even small scenic details are stolen by the audience after the show. Sometimes small props that are on the apron of the stage or that fall into the orchestra seats at the end of the show are taken by audience members. "I worked 'A  Behanding in Spokane.' When our expensive, hand-crafted rubber hands would bounce in the audience, audience members would try to take them home. I saw it as theft. They saw it as going souveniring."

Term of the Day: cup of rage

cup of rage-- anger from the morning onward. "I sometimes thinks he drinks a cup of rage before he comes to work."

Term of the Day: fools rush in

 fools rush in--a reference to small-time Broadway investors. (a lyric from the  1940 song by Johnny Mercer)
