Time and talent

Apparently I don't have time to write this AND actually do all the stuff I'm supposed to do at the theatre... and this is my down time! I will admit to feeling smarter sometimes when I do stuff there.  Usually you can't put a tool in my hand that I know how to use - and you still won't see me building sets but the fact that I understand enough of what the lighting designer, in this case, Nate, is saying just to plug lights in to the proper outlet makes me feel smarter.  What can I say? It doesn't take much.  Of course, that was several weeks ago.  Today is tech Sunday which I will definitely need more time to explain but tomorrow I'm going to learn how to run the sound for this particular show.  Sound was never one of my things either - even when I was taking TV production in college.  But I step in where needed when I can.  People who hear I'm in theatre and then comment that they could never get on stage need to know that there is SO much more they could do and they would never have to set foot on the stage.  At least not with an audience watching. So what kind of talents do you have?
