Though I’m no fan of the phrase, “not my job,” I am always cautious to not allow myself (or others) to depend on those people who happen to be good at many things to do everything. I’ve worked at too many places where the electricians are competent riggers, so suddenly they’re rigging up scenery as well as lighting fixtures, or where the scene shop has people who know electrical wiring, who are suddenly electrifying all the props and practicals for every show—in most cases, either at the expense of the work they were hired to do (i.e., hanging lights or building scenery), or more often, at the workers’ expense, as they end up putting in significant hours trying to accomplish both sets of tasks.
