The Techie's "Book of Genesis"
Courtesy of John Slater
In the beginning there was the Stage, and the Stage was without lights or sets, and darkness was on the faces of the actors. And the Technical Director said, "Let there be Lights!" and the Techies worked and wired, and there were lights. Spotlights and specials, areas and backlighting - yes, lights of all shapes, sizes and hues.
And the Technical Director saw the lights, that they were well aimed and focused, gelled according to the scene, and no more was there darkness on the faces of the actors. And it was good. And the evening and the morning were the First Day.
And the Technical Director looked upon the actors and saw that although they walked in light, they did walk upon a bare stage, and had no place to be, and the Technical Director was moved to pity. And the Technical Director said, "Let there be a Set!": and the Techies scrambled and worked, and there was a set, with platforms, wagons, stairs, and furniture of various types and sized, each according to the need. And the actors did walk within the set, and did have a place to be.
And the Technical Director saw the set, that it was good, and the evening and the morning were the Second Day.
And the Technical Director saw the actors, that although they did have a place to be, they did look like fools, for they waved their hands, clutched at open air, and struck each other with nothing. And in his heart, the Technical Director was moved to pity. And the Technical Director said, "Let there be Props!": and the Techies worked feverishly and did buy and build, and there were props.
And they were good, and the evening and the morning were the Third Day.
And the Costumer looked upon the actors, and saw that they did go forth in blue jeans and the Costumer knew that this would not do. And the Costumer said, "Let there be Costumes!": and the Techies did cut and sew and shape, and there were costumes, each sized to the actor, according to the play, and keeping in with the role.
And no more did the actors go forth in blue jeans, and the Costumer saw the costumes, that they were good, and the evening and the morning were the Fourth Day.
And the Technical Director watched the play, and saw that the actors did wait in silence, and was moved to pity. And the Technical Director said, "Let there be Sound!": and the Techies worked and taped, and there were sounds, each according to its place and cue, all at the proper levels.
And the Technical Director heard the sounds, that they were good, and the evening and the morning were the Fifth Day.
And lo, all these works were completed in five days, showing that if God had used sufficient Techies in the first place, He would have finished sooner.
