Species: Homo Sapiens Technius

This nocteral animal is never usually found at its home. It rarely sleeps and therefore consumes a large amount of caffine. It can be distigueshed by its back coverings which it retains even in hot weather. Even though it is often a short walk away from its own food store it will usually be found eating else where. The term 'Gaffa Tape' can cause over excitement.

This creature although rarely seen is a vital part of the 'Theatre' ecosystem and should be treated with respect.

Indeed. And one should be very cautious approaching it when it's eyes are bloodshot and it is carrying a cup of coffee.

And NEVER insult any part of the lighting, sound, or staging systems in front of us - ESPECIALLY not if we happen to be holding a drill, or even just a piece of 2*4.

And allways remember that a techie can ruin your life forever
