Local Crew (Stagehands)

Crew hired by the venue or promoter in each city to help with load-in and load-out.

In practice

The production advance should confirm the local crew call, departments, headcount, tasks, and expected release time. The touring crew and local lead can then coordinate the dock, stage, and changeover plan. Staffing rules and qualifications vary by venue, labor agreement, and location.
