By theatrical technology, do you mean audio and lighting? If yes, then yeah, I know a lot about it and I'm probably gonna be the head technician of it for my school this upcoming year. Is there anything in particular you want to know about?

That's exactly what i mean! (: i actually don't know much about either, but i know a ton about graphics and i am taking steps towards learning lights and sound! one question is, how would you go about making a living off of it?

I get paid $10 an hour to run events that other companies run using the school's gym and auditorium. For an actual career though, you can be a lighting design for Broadway, other types of theater, television, concerts, etc. It varies really, and audio is the same. :-P

lol I took a vocational theatrical tech course last year, I liked the course itself but I didnt like the people and travelling but as i am the ONLY one with this knowledge in my school I will be sound tech for all the future productions in the school until i graduate but I don't get paid lol

I make short films for film festivals in the area, lighting is a real art, one which I have yet to master I like camera work more then lighting, I leave that up to the boom man, then I tell him how to fix it when he's done!
