Not All Heroes Wear Capes
“Not all heroes wear capes: some ride around on a Mobile Elevated Working Platform, wear a back-mounted vacuum and have been said to resemble a young Sigourney Weaver from the final scenes of ‘Aliens’."
While the Museum has been closed, our technician Tim has been taking advantage of the quiet galleries to do some rather unconventional cleaning and maintenance.
In this week’s story, find out how he’s been caring for our collections behind the scenes and helping us to prepare for reopening.

Just a thought
At some point during a load out where everything just starts looking like a potential murder weapon.
You have officially been working to long
Tell your crew chief you need a minute and drink some water.
Does not apply to the theatre
Okay i’m going to say this once.
The Saying: “if you can’t tie a knot, tie a lot”
DOES NOT APPLY TO THEATER DRAPE
DO NOT MAKE A ROW OF TINY KNOTS TO THE TRUSS CAUSE YOU NEVER LEARNED TO TIE YOUR SHOES!
I should not be spending 15 precious minutes of load out trying to untie (before eventually giving up and cutting it off) tie line.
I’m finding it difficult
Guys it’s the time of year that we have the interns
I’m usually okay with that.
But we have this one that is testing my patience as a human being and I’m about to start throwing things.
More Advice to those who wish to one day work in the stage tech profession
Invest in.
a decent pair of work shoes: steel toed, work boot, or really decent sneaker. Just something that won’t get a hole in them within a week.
A Multi-tool. seriously the most asked for item during a work shift.
A c-wrench. never be without your c-wrench. SERIOUSLY attach that shit to your body.
A pair of pants with the maximum number of pockets. (I wear a pair of tactical black pants, it has 8 pockets and I use every single one. it’s magical.)
Good luck on your stage tech endeavors.
So apparently my coworkers and I weirded out a college intern so much that they changed majors.
