Yeah, I mean, I don't focus a PAR can, like EVER, but it's nice to know how to do some basic electrical work. Or have confidence walking into a meeting or classroom that I can trouble-shoot the soundsystem relatively well. Plus costume taught me to sew, and sceneshop taught basic carpentry skills, so those are hella-useful.
Hyper-specific technical things, like designing a lighting plot? Nope, don't use, but all the soft skills from Theatre are fantastic to have.
Hell, I learned to juggle in theatre, that's something I still do everyday.
