Techie
{
A theatrical technician, also known as a theatrical tech, theatre technician, or theatre tech is a person who operates technical equipment and systems in the performing arts and entertainment industry. Technicians in contrast to performers, is the broad category that contains all "unseen" theatrical personnel who practice stagecraft and are responsible for the logistic and production-related aspects of a performance. The role of theatrical technician should not be confused with the role of a designer, who's role is to not operate the system but work with the director to create the idea of the system that the tech will put into action, although it is common for the roles of designer and technician to be performed by the same person.
The job of a technician may be volunteer or a paid position. It is not uncommon to receive compensation (such as comp/free tickets to the current or future productions or items used in the show) in other forms than money for pay. This type of compensation allows the person working to receive value for their services while not costing the producer more out-of-pocket expenses. Theatrical technicians are represented by the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees in the United States.
