18. ▧ Producer
▧ The producer oversees all the business aspects of the production,
coordinating everything that does not involve the events on stage
18
19. ▧ Director
▧ The director has the final say on all artistic aspects of a
production, and is in charge of everything that happens on
stage. This person must be a mixture of dictator, diplomat,
artist, mind reader and drill sergeant.

20. ▧ Assistant Director
▧ Consider having an assistant director on your team. This takes
pressure off the director and means more than one set of
performers can rehearse at any time. While the director stages a
new scene with the ensemble, the assistant director can run the
leads through sequences that have already been blocked.

21. ▧ Musical Director
▧ You will want someone with musical knowledge to conduct
rehearsals and performances. Your accompaniment can be a full
orchestra or one person at a piano. Some licensing firms now
provide pre-recorded "rehearsal" accompaniment for certain
shows – even if you use these recordings, your cast will benefit
from having a capable musical director to guide them through the
often terrifying prospect of singing on stage.
21
22. ▧ Choreographer
▧ If your show requires serious dancing, have someone on hand who
can make those dances look good, preferably someone with
professional training. You do not want dance numbers that expose
your cast to ridicule or possible injury.
22
23. ▧ Set Designer
▧ Someone will have to design and build your sets or stage
decorations. In some theatre groups, the person in charge of sets is
called "Technical Director" and coordinates all tech teams. While I
don't find this useful, see what fits your team best. Make sure
everything on stage is sturdy.
23
24. ▧ Costume Designer/Coordinator
▧ If you have capable seamstresses and designers on hand, you are
blessed. When your show requires contemporary clothing, the cast
can provide its own. If you have to rent or borrow costumes, have
someone coordinate measurements, costume selection,
alterations, and costume maintenance.

25. ▧ Lighting Designer
▧ It takes tremendous patience to get the lights set properly and
safely. Have someone with technical expertise set up and maintain
your stage lighting system. If you have a qualified volunteer, three
cheers, but note the word "qualified." There is nothing more
dangerous than the inspired amateur. A licensed electrician should
check out your system to verify everything is safe.
25
26. ▧ Sound Designer/manager
▧ This technical wizard will supervise the sound levels during final
rehearsals and performances, preferably from a command post in
the auditorium. A sound crew will be needed backstage to assist
with microphones.
26
27. ▧ Stage Manager
▧ The SM is the director's right hand, assisting at rehearsals, setting
up materials and keeping the script on hand to call out any
forgotten lines. The SM also makes sure everything backstage
goes smoothly during performances.
