Episode notes

This week on Cast Party, the crew pops over to our next-door neighbors at Electric City Buffalo to pull back the curtain with Production Manager extraordinaire Chris Bratek! From tech and hospitality riders to building full-scale airplanes (yes, really), Chris shares all the backstage lore. Whether it's musicals, rock shows, or total production pivots, he’s seen it all—and lived to tell the tale. Tune in to hear what it takes to run the show when the spotlight's not on you—and why tech teams are some serious MVPs of live performance.
