Contact with Touring Companies

I am looking to send letters to each Touring production that comes through my area this year in hopes to get in contact with the stage managers of each show. To send the letter, what exactly is the protocol? Should I send the letter directly to the theatre, or does each show have a direct address to send things to?

When I was 10 and saw the Starlight tour Dwight Toppin (one of the Rocky's) saw me in the front row during the show (I was totally geeking out btw) and he hoisted me up at the end and took me backstage. It was an amazing experience. Afterward I wanted to send him a letter to say thank you. My Uncle who managed the facility the show came to sent it to the company managing the tour. It got to him because he wrote back about a year later.

Write to the venue, ATTN Production Stage Management for those shows, maybe a week before they open. Hopefully the venue management will hold it and give it to them when they arrive.

What tourboi said would be the best route. When I've toured it was not uncommon to have fan mail and requests such as yours waiting for us when we arrived.
