Remember always that thou art a TECHIE, born to walk the dark
places of the stage, and know the secret ways of thy equipment.
To your hands it is given to mold the dreams and thoughts of they
that watch, and to make the Stage a separate place and time. Seek
not, as do the actors, to go forth in light upon the stage, for
though they strut and talk and put on airs, their craft does truly
depend on you, to shape the dreams that they would show.
Remember also that although they depend on you, you exist only
to aid them. Remember that thou art a team, for thou shalt party
together.
My friends be not deceived by deluded actors masquerading as TECHIES.
Remember always the signs by which thou shalt recognize a true
TECHIE: they move softly during scene changes, not stumbling or
falling; they are silent backstage and are aware of what is happening;
they can speak with knowledge of Tools; they respect another's
job and aid where they can; they do not just stand and watch.
Amen.
