Pre-Production
The show is won in the paperwork.
Scope, budget, schedule and documentation — settled weeks before anyone touches a road case.
Pre-production is where money is saved and chaos is prevented. We turn a creative brief into a costed scope, a minute-by-minute schedule and a document set every vendor works from — so decisions get made in a conference room instead of on a hot stage with a hundred people waiting.
- Scope of work and line-item production budgets
- Load-in, rehearsal, show and strike schedules
- Tech packs, plots, patch lists and run-of-show
- Permits, insurance certificates and venue compliance
- Vendor sourcing, bid leveling and contract review
