Guess the Quote

Shireen Guru, Julia Zimmerman, and Victoria Lyons AKA Our Stage Managers

While actors amaze the audience with their stage fighting and dramatic soliloquies, the backstage production staff works on the functionality of every show. Playing a large role in the production of a show, stage managers do a variety of things from taking painstaking line notes to erasing blocking repeatedly. But, by far the best part of the stage manager's job is taking down quotes for the rehearsal reports. The rehearsal report contains important notes for every aspect of the show.  Though we would like to believe everybody thoroughly reads every word of these incredibly exciting reports, we include quotes at the very end to ensure things don’t go unread.  Present at every minute of every rehearsal, the stage managers take down every bizarre, uncomfortable, and downright ridiculous phrase, and believe us there are many. Here we have a quiz to match the quote to its speaker. Many of these require context, but who needs context anyways?
