That first cue can set the rhythm for the whole performance. So what do you do in the final minute before a show begins? Re-check those first few cues? Take a deep breath? Straighten the desk, adjust the headset or listen carefully to the room? #TechnicalTheatre #ShowTime #Backstage #ABTT

Being a technicial is a tough job, but some parts never quite feel like work. Perhaps it’s programming a perfect cue, firing the pyro, getting that quick change down to 10 seconds, or watching everything come together on opening night. Tell us... what part never feels like work? #TechnicalTheatre

Every theatre has a sound that tells you the building is waking up. The first radio check. A flight case crossing the stage. The sound coming online. A distant power tool from the workshop. The call that the house is about to open. What sound means show day has started for you? #ABTT
