IV. What’s New?
Roles in a Stage Production

Every production relies on a small army of people who, although they don't appear on stage, are
every bit as important to the success of the production as the cast. They build the set, design the
costumes, provide for lights, and make sure the audience finds the show. Without them, the cast
would perform naked, in the dark, on a bare floor, in an empty room. They are The Prodstaff.
Producer

 This is the person who takes the play from a

mere concept to an actual finished presentation.
 He or she chooses all the team members and
assigns them their functions, and oversees the casting
of the actors and actresses for the different roles.
https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/how-to-make-money-
making-films/
 He or she also decides on major logistical
matters like when and where the play will be staged, the production schedule, and in most
cases either finances all the production costs or else sources the funds needed.

Note: In a school or class play, the role of the producer is normally fulfilled by the Drama Club
moderator, theclassroom teacher, or by school itself.

Director

 The director is the overall artistic coordinator of

the entire production.
 Throughout the play’s rehearsals, the director
instructs and guides the actors as to the delivery of their
lines of dialogue; their positions and movements on

director-faces-on-and-off-set/

 stage (called “blocking”); the thoughts or feelings they are to convey through tone of voice,
facial expression, and gestures.
 He or she also coordinates closely with the set, lighting, sound, costume/makeup
designers, and the choreographer (if the play involves dance) to create the envisioned total
effect.

6
 Playwright

 For a script intended for stage performance, the

writer of the script is more specifically called a
playwright.
 The initial concept or plot may be original, and
then developed into a play script. Or it may be based on
an existing story or another play which the playwright
will then adapt to present in a new way.
http://www.ottawalittletheatre.com/playwrights-circle/

 The script forms the basis of the entire production. It contains the exact lines of dialogue
that each character will memorize and deliver on stage, often with notes on tone of voice,
facial expression, and even movement or blocking. It also provides a clear description of
the set, props, and lighting to be used in each scene.

Set designer

 The concept and creation of the physical stage

setup is the task of the set designer.
 He or she builds the set (or sets) that will
simulate the world that the play’s characters are
supposed to live in.

https://nl.pinterest.com/pin/338332990743289681/

 The set may be realistic and filled with authentic details; or it may be minimalist, merely
suggesting the setting with a few pieces of furniture or props and a simple backdrop.

Lighting designer

 He or she coordinates closely with the set designer is the

lighting designer.
 Lighting is critical in creating the mood of each scene in the
play, highlighting a dramatic moment, signalling the entrance of a
character, focusing attention on a specific spot on stage, or even
providing the blanket of darkness for set and prop changes.

  Colored lights or filters may be used, as well as special effects such as gradual dimming or
brightening, a speckled effect like sunlight through leaves, or
flickering lights.
Costume designer

 The actors and actresses must look believable in

their roles, and much of this is owed to the costume
designer.
 He or she studies the general setting (time and place)
that the play is meant to take place in, as well as each
character in the script.

 The costumes may need to be designed and sewn to meet these requirements. Or they
esigner may simply be assembled from available clothes and accessories, with some additional
touches created as needed.
 For a modern or avant-garde play, the actors sometimes wear regular street clothes with a
simple prop, a mask, or headgear to denote the characters they are playing.

Sound designer

 The sound designer serves a vital role in creating

and enhancing the atmosphere of the performance.

 Also involved are special sound effects like

https://inyarwanda.com/inkuru/64389/sobanuirwa-menya-buri-murimo-ugize-
ikorwa-rya-filime--64389.html
thunder, birds chirping, rushing water, gunfire, passing
cars, approaching footsteps, and the like.
 The sound designer works with all these to support the action and interaction taking place
on stage. He or she adds detailed notes to the script to serve as a guide for the sound crew
during rehearsals and the actual performance.
Note: In large-scale productions where live musicians or even a full orchestra are involved, a
separate musical director is responsible for coordinating the play’s usic.

Production manager

 Coordinating all the complex behind-the-scenes

details of staging a play is the production manager.
 He or she is tasked with overseeing the crews for
the sets and props, the sound and music, the lighting,

https://dailygazette.com/2019/06/30/ellen-west-world-premiere-superb/ 8
 and the costumes.

 This includes ensuring that all the needed elements, facilities, and equipment are not only
available, but are in good working order, properly catalogued and labelled, and safely
stored from one rehearsal to the next, up until the time of the performance.

Technical director

 The technical director shadows the play’s

director throughout the entire production process.
 From the time the director presents his or her
vision for the play and issues instructions at every
rehearsal, the technical director carefully notes how
each actor and every member of the stage, sound,
https://www.thetca.org/blog/meet-the-tca-student-technical-

corps

lighting, and costume crews need to be coordinated to bring the director’s vision to life—
ensuring that every instruction is properly executed.
 It is then the technical director who takes over to closely monitor the individual details, and
again ensure that these work together seamlessly in the actual performance.

Choreographer

 In cases where a play involves dance in certain

scenes, a choreographer is included in the production
team.
 He or she not only plans out all the dance steps to
suit the music, but also rehearses the actors until they are
able to perform the dance skillfully—while remaining “in
character” on stage.
https://www.123rf.com/photo_26782233_stock-vector-dance-
choreographer-sequence.html

 Should the play happen to involve fight scenes, the choreographer will likewise program the
moves of the opposing sides so these can be executed not only believably, but safely as
well.

9
 Makeup designer

 As the costume designer deliberates on the

characters’ main attire, the makeup designer is brought
in to plan the hairstyles and makeup to complement the
costumes.

 The makeup designer works his or her magic through the wonders of makeup, face and
body
 painting, and hair coloring. Other accessories may be employed, like masks, wigs and hair
extensions, headdresses, and even prosthetics to alter certain facial features or body parts.
