“why do they not have any nips” - a normal quote from a day in the life of a theater technician.

It's Theater-Technician-Who-Has-to-Dress-in-All-Black chic but also making sure everyone knows you're part of the costuming crew from the minute you walk in the door

In her 2008 hit “Circus,” Britney Spears claims “There’s only two types of people in this world: those who entertain and those who observe.” However, there is a third type of person: the elusive, exhausted technician. In this essay I will

Being critical of art is all fun and games until you are the art that is being critiqued :(

I just push my little buttons when they tell me to 🥺

They wish to encourage you then

I love being an evil dictator

The world may be full of hate and despair but it’s also full of backstage technicians who secretly are wearing really fun socks under their stage blacks

holy crap that was an experience

[ourownside]

actually screaming this fucking play is cursed

so im running light and sound tech for a local, small-town production of Deathtrap and everything that can go wrong Is Going Wrong.

original actor for clifford MOVED TO ARIZONA so we had to pull in someone else.

everyone's getting sick so i'm doing all this shit while violently coughing and feeling like i'm on the verge of passing out and the stage manager is coughing up a storm next to me

yesterday one of the cameras i need to see part of the stage fell a bit and started glitching, so i had to climb up on a ladder while my friend held it so i could tighten the camera while the stage manager resets it. still glitching the whole night

got a cut on my finger during that process, found a spider in the bathroom while cleaning it out

some cast members are concerns about the actor for sidney getting legitimate head trauma

actor for helga almost cut her hand holding the dagger during one rehearsal

first two days of dress rehearsal the speakers had blown out the previous week so we couldnt hear shit in the sound booth and i missed a gunshot cue both nights

the sound system blew out last night for the first act and i had to reboot the whole system

on top of all that a fucking wasp decided to chill in the sound booth and so the stage manager had to kill that while i was hyperventilating over the shitty sound system

i'm having medical issues and now have to see a doctor, and am worrying that if something is actually seriously wrong i won't be able to run the booth next weekend

but y'all know what? i'm having a blast and i can't wait for tonight
