Reasons to be a board operator:

1. Get to learn more about lights and sound, and plenty of folk around to ask questions about other aspects of production
2. Still involved in the excitement of putting on a good performance
3. Learn how to handle crisis situations and how to communicate over headset. Kind of like being a jet pilot.
4. Only a week of commitment
5. Meet plenty o’ theater folk you might want to collaborate with later
6. Tasty pizza at strike
7. Tasty people, and you get to flirt with them all.
