Sheesh.

Take our usual dozen small children, fill them with pre-Thanksgiving energy, throw in an unexpected pizza delivery in the middle of rehearsal to distract them, add a stage manager exhausted from twenty-four hours of college panic, and you have a recipe for one normally chipper SM snapping at the actors when they start goofing off while running the fight scene.

I don't like yelling at people, least of all kids, but so help me God, I will if I see people roughousing during the fight scene again -- even the ones who aren't actively involved in the fight. Few things get me as fired as a lack of focus during stage combat, and this scene is hard enough without distractions, since we're trying to get our lead to hold complex lines in his head while "punching" his partner's face over and over again.

I'm just -- physically and emotionally exhausted. I need these two days off so much.

In completely unrelated news, the "layer opacity" feature in Photoshop is my favorite.

In this case, its justifiable. EVERY SINGLE F#####G ACTOR of every age, should realize how important any fight rehersal is.
