Theatre

Why is a flow chart not sufficient?Theatrical Structure isn’t suited to a linear

flow chart. There are multiple people above and below

more than one group. Each specific theatre has a different way of

running things. It can depend on the experience level of

the staff. I tried for hours and couldn’t get it right! But for Masquers, it’s a little more

straight forward

Stage ManagerThe person who is responsible for running

rehearsals and performances and overseeing assistant stage managers. There is at least one additional stage manager on most productions, and musicals usually have two additional. During performances, one stage manager “calls,” or gives cues to technical crew who run lights, sound and sets. The other stage manager(s) supervise activity on the “deck,” or backstage, lending assistance to actors and running crews.From www.onlocationeducation.com/en/ole-
