PLSN: "What's so tough about being a roadie? Performing arts venue managers will learn the answer to this question first-hand when they participate in this year's Performing Arts Managers Conference (PAMC) 'Roadie for a Day' Boot Camp on Saturday, Feb. 26.
The event will be held at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas as part of the International Association of Venue Managers (IAVM) annual PAMC conference, which continues through March 1 at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel.

The one thing I'm always fearful of as a manager is losing the nuts-and-bolts understanding of how stage technology works after time of not actively working with it. In this situation, the venue managers may have been strict MBA types with no hands-on experience with the gear whatsoever! This session is a great idea, because it (a) gives a perspective for the lives of the stagehands who work miracles to get a show up in a new theatre in hours, and (b) either instructs or refreshes the technical knowledge of the gear, which may lead to better conversations with designers and technical directors when bringing a show into their venue.
