Is it that you can mix Rosco paint to what color you need by adding other colors? Rosco paints can be mixed to almost any color. Also Rosco paints are transparent (except for White and White White) so it is much easier to make clear glazes out of them compared to store bought latex paint. The...

I think you must have some very interstring mornings in the theater you work at. There are very few things you can use that for except maybe causing harm to the person who put you into the "bad" mood. Well the only things I personally own is a good sharp knife and a pair of leather gloves.

Well here's a picture of me in my Dress Blue Bravos. I don't have a picture of me doing tech stuff, so this one of me in the other thing I love will have do.

It is senseless for people to do this, but they do. It's horrible that these 32 people lost their lives just because one person decided to go off one day. Even if they had a reason, there's no reason to kill another human being who has done nothing to you. No one desreves to die like that, in a...

Well we didn't get our headshots or even a picture of any of the tech in our program for our musical. Yes, I know our jobs are to be the shadows of the stage. That's why I'm a tech, not an actor. I don't like being in the spotlight. I just want a little recoginition for our work that we put in...

I have been told to wear gloves all the time so you don't mess up your hands when pulling the ropes. I do take off my gloves when I'm pulling one of the heavier flys because it does seem I get more grip when I don't have gloves compared to when I do have them on. I do see the point about when...

I've never haerd it called a color. I've only heard it called a gel. I agree with gafftaper in that it just depends on where you live on what it's called.

When we were building sets for our fall musical, it was a come on Saturdays if you want to type thing. We would usually have a few students show up, one or two parents show up, and our TD. I think if you have a job that comes first because you need money before you can do anyhting else. That's...

The backstage tech got to go out and sing the last song in our musical production, but in the smaller productions tech simply pack up and go home. Our TD came around and thanked us individualy, but I think the audience should get a chance to thank us for our work. Our names do get printed in the...

Around Central Texas. It's fun sometimes when I have to tell my superiors that I have to go to theater because I'm the only cadet in the program who is in theater. I remember one time having to go from a ROTC function then a reahersal without being able to change clothes. It was really fun that...

I just wanted to say hi and give a little bit of information about myself. I was born in Canada but moved to the U.S. when I was 5. I'm a high school techie. I live in Texas. I've done stage, lights, fly rail, and set construction. I really don't have a favorite field to work on. I'm also active...
