I have been pondoring this question for a while now and have yet to come across a person who can actually tell me the real answer. Where did the term 'bio' as in bio box come from. We all know what it is but what does it mean?

Ah, here's what I found:

"Bio-Box The room, usually at the rear of the auditorium, or some other good vantage point, from which the lighting and sound is controlled. Also Control Room. (From Greek 'Bios' = Way of Life)"


from: http://www.dramatic.com.au/glossary/glossarya_d.htm


don't know if they're right, but it sounds like they know what they're talking about.
