Dear Constant Reader,
Kindergarten rules: If it’s not yours, don’t touch it.
It’s a good rule for life, but especially true backstage. That prop may be loaded with something messy. This costume is laid out just-so for a fast change. That item may look like something to sit on, but it’s really someone’s set piece, and delicate. Moving or handling anything could be disaster for another performer. So, just keep your hands to yourself and ask first. Respect your fellow performers’ property and hopefully they will have also read this and do the same for you!
Oh, The Glamourous Life!
