Seven Habits of highly effective theatre people

1. Effective Artistic Directors: Listen to yourself, ignore everyone else.
   
2. Effective Producers: Go over-budget on a production and immediately blame the writer(s) of the play or musical for having too broad a vision.
   
3. Effective Actors: Never offer to run lines with other actors. This will give you extra time to think about how you're going to change your own lines once you're on stage.
   
4. Effective Directors: If you're not getting what you want from an actor, start pouting and then throw something. Your cast will be scared of you at first, but ultimately will come to the conclusion that you're a troubled artist trapped behind your own brilliance. Also note: They will come to this conclusion quicker if you constantly remind them of this.
   
5. Effective Lightboard operators: If the pace of the show is lagging during performance, just jump to the next light cue. Your actors will get the hint and speed up or skip the remainder of the lines. If the stage manager yells at you, play dumb. Then the blame will shift to the lighting designer for programming bad cues.
   
6. Effective Box Office Manager: To save money, when actors ask for comps for a show, smile and say yes, then quickly murmur under your breath "Great, now we won't make rent for this month" or "Would you like a private dressing room too?" This will subconciously guilt the actor into not using comp tickets in the future.
   
7. Effective Costume Designers and Stitchers: Make all your costumes one size. When the actor complains that the costume does not fit, give the following responses: If it's too big, tell them the heat from the stage lights will shrink their costumes, just like Shrinky Dinks.
   
   If it's too small, swear up and down that you built it to their exact measurements and then ask them if they've gained any weight lately? This will end the conversation immediately.
