God looked down on the theatre as hell week approached and he saw that the techies and actors were not ready for their performance. It was not because they didn't have their lines memorized, or that they didn't have their set built. It was because they couldn't get along with each other long enough to put everything together.
He thought to himself the difference between acting and teching is like the difference between light and dark. For actors are stupid people who do not understand the dark side for they walk in the light. For centuries, an ongoing battle between the light and dark has been taking place with no end in sight. For one cannot have light and darkness together because they are opposites and cannot exist together.
God had to find a way to put an end to this horrible blood bath. He decided to build a buffer between the two sides. He would create a new theatre person composed of the core from both the light and the dark. "My creation will be able to move swiftly in the dark and speak fluently before an audience." said God. "He will know the secrets of the techie equipment and drink large amounts of coffee. He will not be irritating or think that he is above all--like some actors. I will call this person the TECHTOR." he continued.
God created this new theatre person and sent him to the theatre in time for the next play. The TECHTOR became the envy of all theatre kind. For he did not walk in the dark or the light. He walked in the GRAY! All strived to be like him, but few suceeded.
As time passed the actors and techies soon began to unite. For the TECHTORS, though small in numbers, began to take over the theatre with their superior skills. Since actors are self-centered and don't want anyone taking the spotlight away from them, and techies don't want anyone who stands in that spotlight knowing their techie secrets they rose up as one to over throw the TECHTORS. A great battle ensued and many actors and techies were lost to the superior TECHTORS. But the actors and techies were sucessful and were restored to power and began to reign side by side in peace and prosperity.
