Sounds a lot like my experience of actors... As a techie, I've observed that I'm always their bestest best friend as long as it's work-related(i.e. me making them look good for an audience), but as soon as final curtain comes around, I might as well be part of the scenery. They are not like this with other actors, because they have the camaraderie forged from early rehearsals(which techies are not part of). And, lest any think I'm exaggerating on the "bestest best friend" thing--the last show I worked, I had one of the actors swearing undying affection, then coming back later the same night(during the show) and telling me, "No, really--I own the Ben & Jerry's downtown, I can totally support you!"
