David Hood, resident opening Friday night front row-er (along with his wife Beth), sent me this special ode to our new stage manager for Gorey Stories, Jennifer Longmuir. David knows Jennifer from their office at USF.
Here goes:
The set was struckThere was no luckFor Jobsite’s new stage managerThe cast with gleeGiggled, hee heeAnd turned her into hamburgerHer comments flip,She cracked the whip,When an actor missed their cue.Resentment roseShe gained some foesThough she didn’t have a clueAs actors thoughtUp morbid plotsTo demonstrate her errorWhile she had funFor the whole runBeing a holy terrorThis lesson learnedYou’ll not get burnedYou may still avoid her fate.Egos fragile,Minds so agile,Criticism actors hate.
