PRODUCTION ADVANCE

Very soon you will be receiving a separate e-mail from your stage manager to begin the production advance process. In the meantime if there is any question that we may not have the most recent version of your tech rider, please submit it to the appropriate stage manager and CC production coordinator Keith LeWinter, and Artist Liaison Jeni Rose. If you are contracted for backline this must be coordinated with your stage manager since we will be ordering based on your advance, and not solely on your rider. If you have any questions about production please wait until after you have received the advance letter from your stage manager, and then we will be more than happy to address your needs.
