Feedback:

“Clay Hutson Production Manager, Stage Manager, Rigger, Monitor Engineer & More! I have been using Dr. Dots "DotBots" for years. Her girls have seen many of the artists and crew that I have TM/PM'd for. Her girls are always on time, friendly, and professional. You need to make time and room on your tour for Dr. Dot's services. By far the best in the business.”
