Team Role list

1)      The Stage Manager and the Deputy Stage Manager work closely throughout the rehearsal process. During rehearsal the DSM will report back to the SM on specific props and costumes that need to be attained. The DSM will also report required lighting and sound ideas back to the appropriate designers throughout the rehearsal process. On the night of the performance the DSM and SM will communicate via cans to ensure the smooth running of the show. Should certain Mics have issues, or if issues arise with costume and set, the DSM will inform the SM who can amend the issues as promptly as possible.

2 & 3) The Stage Manager works closely with the Assistant Stage Manager and the crew, overseeing their work, often delegating specific tasks to members of the team. For example in a complicated scene change, the SM will decide which members of the crew will help dress cast, which will change mics and which will move set.

4) The Front of House Manager works closely with the FOH crew delegating duties to ensure the well being of the audience and that they have the best experience whilst not watching the performance.

5 &6) the DSM works closely with the LX and sound Operators on the night, communicating through cans and their communication must kept throughout. The DSM will have lighting and sound cues in his/her prompt book and will prompt the operators when these cues are. If communication is not kept, the a cue could go wrong or could be missed, which would have a ripple effect, lowering the quality of the entire show.
