You want to know the kind of person that would get involved in theatre production?... It takes a unique nut to go down this road... One needs to be interested in more than art, or construction, or theatre... I have worked in a couple different fields outside theatre, and naturally I know a variety of folks from the "real world"... Only in the world of production have I met people of such bizarre and varied tastes and intrests... Not so much as one person haveing an odd intrest, but almost every single person has wildly varied intrests... An example?... Ok... Go watch the show Mythbusters on Discovery channel... These two guys are great examples in my opinion... They're in the film industy, and primarily special effects at the moment apparently... They are however so much like most of the stagehands I know they're a good reference... If you go through the website, you can check out their diverse bios... And hey, even if you don't care about the mindset of stagehands, check out the show, its worth an hour of your time for the laugh you'll get out of it beside what you may find out...
