Shit I love Technical Theater
The sound of everyone’s feet on a stage during a black out
when 5 techies go on stage, move a piece and it looks like no one did it
the sound of a smooth fly system
the feel of a screw driver with a newly charged battery
at the end of an act or a show and the curtains close and ten techies converge on the stage at once to do their job
being able to see in the dark
the satisfaction of building a piece and seeing it on stage knowing how hard you worked on it
fixing shit the actors break
the sound of ripping gaf tape
saying jokes into the mic during sound check because ‘Testing 123′ is boring
going to a restaurant at the last show
watching actors cry about never seeing each other again and knowing that you will always be back
when a scene change goes faster and smoother than planned
saving something before anyone notices it’s wrong
watching actors freak out when something goes wrong and being the only person calm enough to fix it
putting 100% of yourself on stage and no one knows you were there
learning that the best validation can only come from yourself
learning to be creative, quick minded, resourceful, quiet
knowing that sometimes you don’t have to be loud to be productive
knowing that you don’t have to be seen to do something incredible
