Dancing Giraffes


this photo makes me laugh, and it reminds me of my favorite headset conversation at FoLK (festival of the lion king, for non-disney people), which happened during "be prepared" ...

show control: giraffe?
me: yes, cheryl?
sc: whatcha doin?
me: fire wand routine.
sc: i see that. (pause) why?
me: well, we're down a girl. and i know the routine. and vicky [the giraffe puppet] is a good dancer.
sc: yes, we are. and yes, you do. and yes, she is. (long pause) giraffe?
me: yes, cheryl?
sc: how did Vicky get a raffia wand in her mouth?
me: savannah animals are very nice. and helpful.
sc: I see. (pause) giraffe?
me: yes, cheryl?
sc: don't ever do fire wand routine when i'm not the stage manager.
me: ok, cheryl!
