The Techie Page

Yes indeed this page is black. Why? Because techies do it in the dark, of course. I did some serious teching at CTY during my four years and plan to do some more in the future. Techies, you see, are the talent behind the show. Though I complained when I had to wipe milk, jello, and God knows what else off of the stage at ATS during blackouts, I loved every minute of it. Hey, it's thanks to tech crew that I learned how to make a pressure bandage using duct tape and paper towels. Maybe that story will end up on this page at some point. Anyway...here's whatever techie-related stuff I could dig up. Enjoy, techies, actors, and those of you who have not indulged in either joyful occupation.

This is the tech sheet I created for CTY tech to get us organized. It was quite the pleasant surprise when I returned for my last year to discover that they were still using my sheet, even when I wasn't there first session. Maybe they'll use it next summer...
