OTHER INFORMATION
The link below takes you to a GREAT informational page. It is designed for professional stage hands both in theatre and in other professions, so some of the information may not be entirely applicable to our specific situation. However, most of the things listed there are very important to know ahead of time. Our particular organization has higher standards when it comes to things like dirty jokes, and we don't usually have to do much work with lights. But everything else on there should be helpful.
