Lord, let my arms never grow weary of carrying or pulling on ropes. Let my lights always work, and my sounds always be clear. Let my props always be placed, and my set always be prepared. Let me now miss my cues, nor be caught onstage when the lights come up. Keep my hemp always strong and fresh, and my borders always in trim. And when this play of life at last finishes its long run, may the strike be short and swift, and the party be long and joyful.
Amen.

The Original Techie Gospel - The Techie Psalm
The TD is my guide, I shall be informed.
She shows where my props must go, and how the stage must be set.
She tells of the setting of the lights, and checks the sounds I prepare.
Yea, though I walk through the darkness of the stage, I shall not fear, for I am a techie and I see in the dark.
My paths are prepared beforehand, the actors get not in my way. The lights stay down until I leave.
Surely I will answer all of my cues at the proper time, and I will dwell backstage forever.
