Not commenting on the starter of this thread, but "Go Back to HIGH SCHOOL" just reminded me of Grease.

So he padded his resume a little. I can think of bigger disappointments to discover from padding. And have!

samiam,
true you weren't nasty-but another poster claimed that "we" weren't-and the majority of posters were just out & out mean...I've been lurking for some time & it just seems like most here are more negative than positive-nothing personal...

I know a dresser is a piece of furniture, but what is a theater?

Neither a borrower nor a lender be...unless that's mine in the first place.

Question: A friend of mine in a touring Broadway production told me he has to tip the dressers after every show. Why is this? That was the first time I had heard that. I assume, maybe, they use local people from each city they are in and that's part of the deal??

i just laughed harder and harder as i got closer to the bottom of this thread .... there should be a book "theatre for absolute dummies" I just took a 9 year old to a show who read the entire "playbill" and then the credits and guessed most of their jobs correctly.

I am one of the Star Dressers on the tour of HAIRSPRAY, putting pantyhose on a big man 8 times a week.

Tipping is customary. If you are going to be in a broadway show, expect to tip your dresser, and hair/make-up person.

TIPS stands for To Insure Proper Service. It's a thank you for a job well done.

Then if a stagehand does a really good job, how come they don't get tips?
Or a follow spot operator?

On Broadway the lowest paid stagehand makes $10/hour more than a dresser...and yes, you can call us costumers....or wardrobe....

And, the stagehands don't have to handle an actor's sweaty laundry.
