Techie

People who work on the technical aspects of theatre; (i.e. Lighting, Sound, Scenic, Costumes, Video)this includes either design or implementation of any of the preceding fields. Quite often underpaid and overworked. Actors typically believe these people in particular to be the "gnomes" or "fairies" that come during the night and make their set appear. Techies can be seen backstage lounging on the fly rail.

Actor1: "Who is that guy sitting over there by all those rope thingies?"

Actor2: "Oh, he's just a techie."

Ivy Tech

A community college with several campuses scattered across the state of Indiana.

Established in 1963, Ivy Tech now has over 120,000 students.

It's get a bad rap for it's large number of know-nothings (which is true), but it is a good stepping ground for some people between high school and university.

Cheap alternative to real universities, minus the fun.

"Hey did you hear back from Purdue?"
"Yeah, I got rejected, so I'm going to Ivy Tech and hopefully I'll be able to transfer to Purdue somewhere down the road."
