What do you need a Tech Writer for

When putting on a performance there is a lot of technical work that has to be covered. A tech writer lays out all of the schematics and technical work that is involved in the buildup of a show. Without the tech writer, there would be some major problems in the dynamics of the show. Here are just a few things that could go wrong without a tech writer: cords would be out of sink; computer timed lamps would be off cue; audio mics would not be turned on properly; and anything that involves technical instructions or operation would be out of sink. The people who are assigned to the technical equipment would have no idea of what is technically involved in the show. A tech writer must be skilled in terms and all technical equipment involved in a show to be able to instruct the tech crew on how the show is formatted.
