The production manager has to have an overview of the entire production to coordinate the touring and local production staff. The stage manager is responsible for allocating the stagehands to the production crew for setup and load out. The tour manager oversees travel arrangements, collects money, pays the bills, and deals with problems as they arise. The sound engineer operates the front of house console, which controls the sound that the audience hears. The monitor engineer operates the monitor console, which controls the sound that the performers hear onstage. The sound crew works with the sound engineer and monitor engineer to set up and maintain the sound system under the direction of the sound engineer and monitor engineer.
