The person in charge of getting it done is the General Manager, who supervises the day-to-day operations of Headliners Music Hall.

You will oversee the cleaning, maintenance and safety of the venue to ensure Headliners and its in-house gear and operations are in good working order so that artists and patrons have a positive and memorable experience.
The General Manager duty is to communicate and coordinate with performers and the venue production manager before and after shows. You must work closely with the tour. The General Manager will work with the production staff to schedule show labor and coordinate hospitality, book runners, or merch sellers etc for artists and their traveling party.
