Always hug your theatre administrators. Always.

Totes pretentious douche. I don't think you're supposed to root for him…

Yeah, it's really weirdly done. Geoff's line seems to imply that it's the same Brian, only "much thinner," but the guy is like not even close to resembling present-day Brian. On the other hand, I think New Burbage is definitely large enough to have employed more than one Brian in the last ten years. There are…

That line is tied for my favourite line delivery from Mark McKinney in the entire run of the show. Tied with, "GARBAGE, GARBAGE, I WANT GARBAGE."

I agree that season 3 is probably a bit better, but I just find this season more satisfying. My inner lover of happy endings is happy that in this season the performance finds all manners of success: artistic, financial AND critical, which isn't really the case in either of the other seasons. Call me a sap.

The boy was goooood, but a little too PRETTY if you ask me. The theatre's no place for PRETTY FACES. Yes, I liked it well ENOUGH.

Maybe it's a different Brian? I don't know, that's my best guess. But that brings me to MY favourite continuity error: in the same flashback, the actor we see understudying Geoffrey after he's leapt into Ophelia's grave ALSO turns up this season as a playwright. I don't know, maybe it's the same guy, but there's no…

Brian and Jerry are the highlights of this season for me, for spoiler-y reasons I won't get into. But seriously — Brian's arc is fantastic and beautifully played by a seasoned Stratford actor.

If it had been in service of a production of Hamlet, I could forgive that, because it IS such a genius piece of direction. But actually, I was a journalism student, interviewing him for an assignment, and we were talking about his philosophy on directing and acting. So it kind of got passed off as his own unique…

Ooh, curse stories! I produced 'Macbeth' a year ago and, other than our late-night last-minute dress rehearsal being cut short by a forced evacuation due to the fog machine setting off the smoke alarm, nothing went wrong. I did notice, interestingly, that only two or three people working on the show were really…

One time I had a director give me, verbatim, Geoff's little speech to Jack about whether Hamlet knows that Claudius and Polonius are listening to him. I was totally blown away by the genius of it at the time, and royally pissed about it when I got around to watching the show. But yeah, I think it does speak to how…

For some people it varies, but generally you're not supposed to say it in the theatre proper. (There are varying opinions as to whether you can say it in the other areas of the building, like dressing rooms and offices.)
