[SML] Old joke request

[Herrick Goldman]

The old story is,  that an opening night was being delayed because they were finishing masking behind the main rag.  The Producer pokes his head out the curtain and explains to the audience "we apologize for the delay, we'll begin momentarily we are just hanging the blacks" 

Good luck and be careful teaching  theater phrasing.  Breasting pipes is fun but measuring by RCH increments is frowned upon these days.

Hi Everyone

I hope someone here (with a better memory than mine) can help me.

Some years ago there was a joke going round about an SM/Production Manager discussing work to be done and one said “We must hang the blacks…”

I need the full joke to show some students that there is a difference between “normal” English and “Theatre” English.


Any similar jokes/stories will also be highly appreciated.

Answers to the list or directly to me please.

Best regards

Philip
