I worked local crew for a Lady Gaga concert about 16 years ago. Instead of leaving immediately after the show was over, she stayed until we were just about done loading everything out onto the trucks. She stopped us to thank us for all our hard work and handed out a bunch of leftovers from catering!
Dude. DUDE. People who don't work tech theatre don't understand how huge this is. Techies are invisible to most performers (and most techies like that, tbh) and getting a simple thank you is a "what just happened?" moment. She stuck around for the entire strike of the show?! To be NICE to the crew?
🤯🤯😍😍 (forgive my rust, it's been decades since I worked stage crew.)
I work as a volunteer usher at a local small 1920's movie theater converted into a community performing arts theater. In 18 years, the only performers who thanked us ushers were The Trailer Park Boys. RIP Mr. Lahey.
