Please do not be put-off by the basic descriptions of some of these "jobs." We will all help each other as a team! Although we expect adults to head up each department, we welcome and encourage students to join our team.

PRODUCER The Producer oversees all the business aspects of the production, coordinating everything that does not involve the events on stage. This person is the "angel" of a production who inspires and recruits a great team and acquires the funding to make it all happen. Note: We already have sufficient funds this year to begin production and very likely carry us through to the performances; although we are grateful for any continuing monetary or other donations.

DIRECTOR The Director handles all artistic aspects of a production and is in charge of everything that happens on stage. The Director consults with all department managers to ensure the production is cohesive. Can also use an ASSISTANT DIRECTOR/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. In fact, once a performance begins, a  director's work is done and the stage manager is the one in charge. An upperclassman is welcome to fill this position or some parts of it. 

MUSIC DIRECTOR The Music Director teaches and rehearses the songs. They may also organize and conduct a group of musicians to play for the performances.

VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR makes sure all these roles are filled including coordinating parent volunteers for each rehearsal.

PROPERTIES MANAGER The Props Manager is in charge of obtaining and keeping track of all hand-held properties – candy bars, microphones, books, etc., and acquiring a crew to assist, if necessary. What they cannot obtain, they will have to manufacture for both the rehearsal period and the show.

HOUSE MANAGER The House Manager keeps track of everything that happens on the audience's side of the curtain, including ticket sales, lobby activity, seating, and letting the stage manager know when the audience is ready for the performance to begin. They also recruit USHERS for seating and passing out programs. The Ushers and/or Manager are on call during performances in case someone in the audience needs assistance. 

PUBLICITY COORDINATOR The Publicity Coordinator is responsible for making sure posters, announcements, etc., are created, distributed and posted.
