Theater, in many ways, is like many other jobsites, particularly when it comes to festivals and arena-style shows. I find the first product, the tent cover thing, could be very useful both as a rest and cover for workers, as well as a shade for sensitive electronics or paperwork. The water backpack thing and the sunglasses could be very nice, although I think, along with the cover, that they may not be as useful in an arena style show, since most amenities like that are not needed or are available nearby. However, the tool belt is critical for many theater workers, particularly riggers, and honestly, if you need one I would buy a nicer one than that. Finally, the earbuds are probably bad for theater, since you usually need to not have music playing because of constant activity and saftey.
