Touring Production Support.

Touring production support across the U.S. and Canada — local crew swap-ins, freight routing, between-leg warehousing, advancing, and PM coverage that keeps a tour ahead of itself. We've staffed 12-city national arena tours where every venue had a different IATSE local, every load-in was a different rig, and the only constant was that the truck rolled out on time.

Every show is bespoke — but here's the typical scope of work for touring production support. Quoted line-item, no surprises.

◆ 03
Advancing

Tour PM coverage
Floating PM hits every market or rotates with tour staff — same standard everywhere.

Show-day execution
Local crew briefed by tour staff, on stage and ready 60 min before doors.

Common questions

Before
the call.

Do you handle cross-border U.S./Canada tour routing?+
Yes — Vancouver, BC and Toronto runs are routine. Customs, carnets, and freight coordination handled by the same team that handles U.S. routing.
Can you swap crew if the tour staff needs a break?+
Yes. Local-market crew briefed on the show before the truck arrives means you can rotate tour staff without losing show quality.
What if a venue's IATSE local has rules we don't know about?+
Advance work catches it. We pre-coordinate with the local before the tour arrives — work rules, call times, jurisdictional issues all surfaced and budgeted.
