Ahh tech week — a time like no other. A time of stress, exhaustion, and hard work. If you\u2019ve ever been a part of a show with a tech week, you\u2019ll remember these ten faces.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0The stage manager who is losing their patience<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

One of the people you should not test during this week. They are writing and programming cues like no tomorrow, and if something gets in their way you bet they will get rid of the problem.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

2.\u00a0The director who is all over the place<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

During Tech Week, the director needs to make sure everyone is doing their job and doing it well. Now that a tech team is thoroughly involved, it just adds more problems to their list!<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

3.\u00a0The acting veteran<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

When tech week begins they know what is to come. They\u2019ve been to tech week and back and they\u2019re ready for more.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

4.\u00a0The newbie<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

They don\u2019t know what is to come. They may have been warned, but they don\u2019t believe it. They must experience it for themselves.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

5.\u00a0The props manager when nothing is in the right place<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

\u201cIf it isn\u2019t yours don\u2019t touch it\u201d \u2013 You\u2019re going to hear it a lot.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

6.\u00a0The costumer making adjustments<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

They need a needle and thread, a few safety pins, and every bit of your patience.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

7.\u00a0The lighting technician who is tired of reprogramming the cues<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

\u201cYou can just change that cue in the middle, right?\u201d \u2013 Every director ever.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

8.\u00a0The sound tech who is running out of mics<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

And please don\u2019t tap the mic.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

9.\u00a0The outsider who doesn\u2019t know the effort you\u2019re putting in<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You can\u2019t you have rehearsal.<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

10. The concerned friend<\/h4>\n
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

You know you\u2019re okay, but to everyone else, you\u2019re stressed, exhausted, and kinda scary.<\/p>\n
