Backstage Breakdown answers the hard hitting question:

1. Are all call booths created equal?
2. To tour or not to tour!
3. What’s the difference between touring and sit down productions?
4. What does a day on Broadway on a stage management team look like?
5. How do you manage eight shows a week and a life?
