A. Introduction Day 1 POINTS TO REMEMBER!
Panimula Most visible on stage in a theater production are the actors and actresses playing their roles.
However, behind the scenes is an entire team whose work begins months in advance of the
actual performance. It is they who support the actors and enable them to truly bring the play to
life. While the members of this team may vary depending on how complex or simple the
production is, below are the basic roles that most plays require.
Producer – In a professional stage production, 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. 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.
Director – The director is the overall artistic coordinator of the entire production. Like a
conductor of an orchestra, he or she has a vision of the desired total effect and impact of the
performance. 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 stage (called
“blocking”); the thoughts or feelings they are to convey through tone of voice, facial expression,
and gestures. The director 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.
Playwright – For a script intended for stage performance, the writer of the script is more
specifically called a playwright. 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.
Lighting designer – Coordinating 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,
signaling 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. He or she then
decides what attire will not only give the audience a clear sense of the setting but will also
express each character’s personality and distinct qualities.
Sound designer – Similar to the lighting designer, the sound designer serves a vital role in
creating and enhancing the atmosphere of the performance. Sound, in this case, includes music
both on stage and as background, which the sound designer may need to source to suit the
general time and place of the play, as well as scenes. Also involved are special sound effects
like thunder, birds chirping, rushing water, gunfire, passing cars, approaching footsteps, and the
like.

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, 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, lighting, and costume crews need to be coordinated to bring the
director’s vision to life—ensuring that every instruction is properly executed.
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. 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.
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 work of the makeup designer may be as simple as making the actors look natural for their
respective roles—based on their characters’ age and personality, and the time and place of the
story. But it may also be far more challenging, such as transforming the actors into mythical
creatures, animals, a different nationality, or futuristic beings. Thus, 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.
