Everyone has a favorite quote pertaining to our lives in the theatre, on the stage, etc.  Might be fun to post some.  For NOW, I am going MAD trying to find an exact quote from (I think) a G.B. Shaw play.  Something like;

"He who stays behind to sweep the stage while everyone else hurries off to the cast party, is the one who loves the theatre the most."  Anyone know the actual quote, the play, etc?

Thanks!  Da Mama Luvs Ya!

Great one... and of course, so true!  Boy, have I seen some shows where the actors got in the way ;-)

This isn't really from a play or anything...but my favorite quote was off a pin on button and it really was just fitting:

There is one I use, now & then, especialy with the local Ockers. Mainly as they tend to deliver dialoge fast. yet normally speak much slower. Cocknies do much the same, Unlike most other pohmy accents.
I suggest to them that;-
"the only difference between a good actor & a great one, is the length of thier pause".
I have no idea who first said it, but it seems to get the message across, except after I have said it, they inspect thier hands?
I use one in my signature. "Hear the light & see the sound". Which is probably pathetic,  at least from the vacant stares I get? Maybe i should change it to "Feel the light", {that's no good because one can anyway!}
"Naa aarh fink ah bettah fink t'outag'n"

Oh burn!! Thats awesome.  Go Churchill.
