Reflections on Tour – Feedback Form

Touring life is an adventure—full of highs, lows, loud audiences, out-of-control audiences, and everything in between. While every tour comes with its challenges, our goal is to make each one the best possible experience for both you and the children. We firmly believe that an Alpha Shows tour is not just a job, but a transformative and life-changing journey.

The professional skills, resilience, and problem-solving abilities you develop on tour can serve you well in any career, whether in the entertainment industry or beyond. Many past Company Cast Members have gone on to remarkable success, thanks to the invaluable experience gained while touring.

At Alpha Shows, we are committed to continuous improvement—progress over perfection. Your feedback can be impactful in shaping the future of our tours, provided it comes from a true desire to contribute and facilitate positive growth – keys to fulfillment in life.

As you complete this form, consider the realities of running a touring production and the challenges that come with it. If you were in a leadership role, how would you solve the challenges you highlight? What prevented that solution from already being enacted during the tour?

Please be thoughtful in your responses. If your feedback contradicts guidelines outlined in the Touring Manual, or if you waited until the end of the tour to mention something that could have been resolved earlier by speaking with your Tour Supervisor or Company Management, your message may be received ambiguously. If an issue arose due to miscommunication or a misunderstanding of Company policies, take this as an opportunity to instead reflect and learn.

Touring is demanding, but so is any career in entertainment. At the end of the day, we create our own reality – and that includes all your experiences on tour. Taking responsibility for our experiences is far more powerful than always expecting something external to resolve the issue, whether that’s a person or a company, and it also teaches your inner-self that you are empowered, not a victim, which is an important step towards self-actualization. If something was truly an issue, bringing it up at the right time and communicating could have led to a solution. If it was simply part of the reality of touring and performing life, then resilience and adaptability are key. Or if it truly is a great idea to improve something, also embrace how you personally would contribute to that improvement and expand your own personal impact within the company, especially if you wish to return for future tours.

As we emphasize in our shows, honesty and truth are also top priorities.
