Today I'm chatting with Anthony (Head of Sound) and Shane (Head of Lighting). Being a HOD in commercial music theatre means not only being the most senior person within your touring team responsible for a huge amount technically, but also holding a management style position in a team of people you lead as well as in dealing with other departments that are not your own. This can be incredibly challenging, especially because it isn't a feature of the job that is often advertised or acknowledged. I wanted to speak with Anthony and Shane about this, as I have been lucky enough to witness them in these roles and it is incredibly impressive.
