• Running the Help Desk during rehearsals for any cast or crew member having difficulty with their in-ear monitor (IEM) radio units, earphone issues or any other communications troubles
• Organising distribution of IEMs to groups of up to 500 volunteer cast members during rehearsals, and the entire cast on show nights
• Responsible for running the department which distributed comms. equipment to crew and management
• Operated LS9 desk during rehearsals, taking direction from Stage Management and Choreography crew
