Unlike other design disciplines, the sound design is partly created live during a show. The cast can change, a performer isn't 100%, perhaps there's a sub in the band, even the size of the audience, or the weather can have a huge impact on the sound of a show. It's no wonder that most sound designers were sound engineers. The person behind the mixing board is both an artist and an engineer needing all their right and left brain to create the audio landscape. This panel of engineers, technicians, and designers (including Jessica Paz, the first woman to win a Tony Award for sound design) will turn the volume up on the incredible work they do in their dual roles as technician and artist.
