francisco institution for i think over NUMBER_TOKEN years um i worked for them around their NUMBER_TOKENth year um and i mean that was a show in which it was a NUMBER_TOKEN-minute show with i think eight cast members or ten cast members and as a backstage tech every single backstage position had NUMBER_TOKEN plus queues in NUMBER_TOKEN minutes um costume changes doors opening and closing set changes ever you it was a workout just to work on that show oh my god so much fun um i want to talk about one more uh one more transformative experience in theater which was there used to be this wonderful christmas drag show called here in san francisco called christmas with the crawfords and in it um this wonderful actor whose first name is stephen and i wish i could remember his last name but my brain is too old because he's also a member of three for all a uh uh an improv trio that my wife and i have seen multiple times over the last NUMBER_TOKEN years um steven played this teenager who's locked in a room with a girl teenager and every time the door closes the boy and the girl because they're teenagers are all like hormonal and there's like drums and the actors are kind of vibrating towards each other and that's part of the drama of the show is that the teenagers are in a room and teenagers do what teenagers are going to do and later on in the show a baby comes out and the baby is stephen the actor but in painters stilts wearing this padded baby uniform but he's like nine feet tall and that's hilarious first of all but funny wasn't the first emotion that passed over me when this nine foot tall baby walked out on stage terror was my first response because i was in the room with this thing and it didn't feel like it should be possible and for just like one half of a second my brain went into full amygdala driven fight or flight mode that's something that can only happen in theater that's just i'm never going to have that physical response in a movie theater i never have and i doubt that i will but in theater i've had it more than a few times um thank you for that great question i love talking about my time working in theater thank you so much for watching if you'd like to support us even further you can by becoming a tested member uh details are of course below but it includes all sorts of perks and we're building them all the time you get advanced word and behind the scenes photos of some of our projects questions you get to ask direct questions during my live streams and we have some members only videos including the adam realtime series of unbroken unedited shots of me working here in the shop they are weirdly meditative thank you guys so much i'll see you on the next one
