Thou Shalt Love Thy Stage Manager — Theatre T-Shirt

THOU SHALT LOVE THY STAGE MANAGER.

For theirs is the booth, and the headset, and the power to smite thee with darkness and silence.

Let it be known throughout the rehearsal hall: the stage manager is to be loved, honored, and obeyed. Particularly by those who wish their microphones to remain operational. They know where everyone should be, what everyone should be doing, and exactly how many minutes behind schedule the entire production has fallen. They possess the sacred prompt book, command the mighty headset, and have heard every excuse ever invented by an actor. Cross them at thine own peril. 

Part of The Words of Thespis collection from Wooliam Sheepspeare, this two-sided theatre shirt celebrates the sacred commandments of an art form that has never been particularly good at following rules.
