Nope, I am a stagehand, when I do my job correctly no one notices that I am there.

I may of saw you. I was a techie in college (stagehand/manager). Besides it is my job to notice everybody. Who were you working for.

IATSE - International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employes, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, its Territories and Canada, AFL-CIO. or the IA for short. I have been a Union Stagehand since 1991. I was one of the riggers on the show, all the stuff that was hanging over your head, I put it there.

One of my best friends was a lighting tech with a major stage production that traveled all over the world. He ALWAYS came back with CRAZY stories about working with the Stagehand Unions. One story was about the show having to start almost an hour late because the set up was shut down in the wee-hours of the preceeding morning while waiting for a union supervisor and a house electrician. The cause of the dely was that the traveling crew wasn't allowed to stick a common 110 plug in the theater wall without union assistance. Here's the kicker: They had to pay the electrician overtime to come-in during non-shift hours.

Toymaker's Dream.

He started with the show when it was still a high school drama production. He ended up traveling to 27 countries on six continents. Caught malaria twice and I think he was nearly electrocuted several times (mostly in Africa). I haven't talked to him for several years. He's from Broken Arrow.
