Not that we're bad in anyway whatsoever..

I guess today I'll deviate from my usual topics (internet, games, technology) and talk about something real.The theatre is an exciting place no matter which way you look at it, but it is very interesting to go behind the scenes and see how shows work. For example, at my high school, I am an advanced tech, so I do lots of work on shows, especially lighting. As a tech, one learns that wearing black is absolutely necessary when working on an on-stage tech crew. It kinda destroys the atmosphere if you see some guy wearing bright colors running on stage during a blackout.

Not all tech work is that done on stage. There are many divisions within the general technical idea. Costume and make-up management is part of the technical crew's job, as is publicity managing, such as advertisements, etc. Basically any part of running a theatre is part of a tech's job. Lights, sound, rigging, stage managing; all are vital parts of making a show work.

That's basically the main view of the technical world of theatre. Sorry if I didn't do too great of a job at that; I'm pretty tired after a good day of work with not enough food/drink. Anyway, looks like I'm keeping up with my once a week blogging. I'll try to come up with something else cool soon. Look into auditioning for your next school play! It's quite an eye opener for first timers and it'll help you become a better speaker.
