There was a case manager in a social services agency. She worked with at - risk youth.

I heard of a tour manager who discovered that one of the opening acts was stealing equipment from the main act. It was a very delicate situation because the opening act was popular and had a big following. The tour manager had to secretly investigate and gather evidence without causing a scandal. In the end, they managed to quietly replace the opening act without too much drama. Another story could be about a tour during a heatwave. The tour manager had to find ways to keep the artists and the crew cool and hydrated, which involved some rather unorthodox methods like using ice - filled bins in the dressing rooms.
