There are a few things that I am wondering.
I love doing tech theater stuff (lights, sound, love it all), but I am wondering how hard it is to find a job in that area. Also, is it possible to find a job in tech theater that does not require you to work on Sunday? If not, is there any job out there that deals with theater, or behind the scenes work where you don't have to work on Sunday? Do you have a recommendation?

It's not hard. Crew members are always needed. Try looking here:

A LOT of theatre techs have college educations, with training in technical theatre. (This includes positions such as: set designers, lighting designers, technical directors, stage managers, etc.), but I'm pretty sure you can get a crew position with a non-union company with a little persistance.
Working on Sundays, on the other hand, is pretty much a necessary evil in the industry. (This also includes every genre professional performance technician from Broadway to corporate events, to rock venues.) The schedule usually changes constantly, and the hours are usually long.

Many theaters have productions on Sunday. People have the day off and want to attend a play.

Well, I have a high school class that does that, and apparently if I do some outside training I can get paid to do it, so theres an opening right there.
I'm pretty sure you'd have to work sundays cause lots of productions go on on sundays
