What's covered

Looking great.
Working 100%.
Every time.

Touring support keeps your scenic elements looking the way they were built to look and working 100% in every house on the run. Each part of the cover is delivered to one standard by production-grade crew briefed on your build, so a knock or a fault between venues never reads from the seats.

Preventive maintenance

Routine maintenance across the run that holds the finish and the working parts to the standard the set was built to - built in, not billed as an extra.

What touring support is

On the road,
and in the show.

Touring Support keeps a touring set looking and operating at peak performance, venue after venue. Preventive maintenance holds the scenic elements to the standard they were built to. On-the-road repair puts right the wear and knocks a set takes between houses. Essential faults carry a 24-hour turnaround, the production has a 24/7 contact through the run, and dedicated on-site production crew join the show where it needs them.

This is the support half of touring - service, not kit. Where Touring Packages bundle the gear, touring support keeps your scenic elements maintained and repaired once the tour is moving. It sits inside the wider Sets, Scenery & Props workshop, so whoever is on the ground is briefed on your build and works to the standard that made it.

On the road · support cycle 5 steps
A blueprint process flow of how a touring set is supported: step one check the scenic elements at load-in, step two run preventive maintenance through the season, step three take the fault call on a 24/7 contact, step four fix it around the show without stopping the performance - this fix step is highlighted in orange - and step five keep the set rolling on to the next venue. 1 LOAD-IN CHECK Check the scenic elements in at each venue. 2 MAINTAIN Preventive maintenance through the run. 3 FAULT CALL A 24/7 contact takes the call, any hour. 4 FIX 24-hour turnaround, around the show. 5 KEEP ROLLING Back in the show, on to the next venue.

Five steps, one standard. Check in, maintain, take the call, fix and keep rolling - across the whole run. The fix step is where the 24-hour turnaround is won, so an essential fault never becomes a hole in the show.

What's covered

The full support cover,
load-in to load-out.

Touring support is not a single call-out. It is a maintained engagement that keeps the scenic elements in good working order, fixes the faults that would stop a show, and puts production-grade crew on the ground where the run needs them - so the set you opened with is the set you close with.

Touring support is the maintenance half of a tour. The kit itself comes from Touring Packages; whole-show automation control and technical direction sit with Production Engineering; and the scenic build it supports comes from the wider Sets, Scenery & Props workshop - in-house, concept to strike.

Supported on tour

Built here,
kept in the show.

The workshop that builds the set keeps it running on the road - maintained, repaired and crewed across touring runs that play venue after venue.
