The person responsible for coordinating aspects of a production such as the financials and the venue. The producer does not usually become involved in the creative work of the director and performers.
tumu - dependable leader
whakaputa - produce
Kei a ia te mahi a te tumu whakaputa, ehara ia i te tangata whakaari.

Tē kitea te nuinga o ngā mahi a te tumu whakaputa – kei muri ia e hāpai ana.
