Tech Week more like Death Week. ☠️ Lots of coffee, failing grades, angry directors, everyone’s favorite tech crew screaming at you about props, parts of the set falling on you in the middle of a scene, security coming after you during class the next day, your costume ripping, the microphones working, trashy food, angry directors, group chats, tears being shed, the vending machines being sold out and everyone getting on each other’s nerves! Can’t wait until tech week!
Doctor: “ So what brings you to the ER today?”
Theater Kid: “ I was beaten up by the props manager for touching a prop that wasn’t mine during tech week.” or “ A large metal gate fell on top of me during tech rehearsal today.

The week or two proceeding an opening performance of a play in which actors, crew members, and techies are forced to stay and perfect the play to all hours of the night. It makes all members feel as if they live in the theater. Often known as hell week, it brings about feelings of stress, nervousness, anxiety, anger, exhaustion, and, on a rare occasion, happiness.
