The Life of a Theatre Techy

So, just got my first tastes of being a theatre-tech-crew-guy within the last few weeks. Fairly awesome, yes. It’s funner than I’d originally thought it’d be. I’m currently set up to be doing the soundboard and sound design for our plays and sets, but am also learning the vastly epic skills of light control & design.

Below are a few images of the Domain (read Tech Booth) in which I reside:

Soundboard

This is what I’m in charge of using for theatre. That and the thing below.

Spotlight

I’m also in control of the left spotlight until we possibly get more crew members to run these things.

Light Controls

This is the “Lightboard” which my friend Michael controls. It controls the intensity of all the lights in the theatre, along with the cyclorama lights (the lights that shoot down onto the backdrop to make pretty scenery and colors) Michael is below.

Michael. Being all mischievous

And that’s all. I’ll post more updates on the play and my job doing all of this and whatnot later.

EDIT: The current play we’re setting up for is called “PRESSURE.” And it’s looking to be really frigging scary. Will post footage of it later if possible.
