Successful theatrical productions are a team effort and require
the close cooperation of the playwright, producer, director,
designers, and actors. The group responsible for selecting a play
and the style of its production must first reach a consensus on
their reason for being and their rationale for approaching an
audience. The goals and modes of production are constantly
evolving, requiring theatre personnel to be constantly conversant
with shifts in the functions of members of theatre teams, in forms
and styles of drama, and in techniques of staging. This book
stresses the need for collaboration and communication among the
members of the theatre team during the moving of a script toward
its audience.
Though evolution in the roles of producer, playwright, and
director has been neither uniform nor evenly paced, this book
demonstrates that change itself provides theatre teams openings for
inspiration and creation. Through examples of production successes
and failures of eminent plays since mid-century, and through
discussions of specific interaction or lack of it among those who
produced and directed the plays, this volume stresses clearly
delegated authority and responsibility of production roles.
Full-scale interaction is vital as the members of the theatre team
interpret, rehearse, and perform a play. This book also includes
sections on the different production circumstances encountered by
theatre teams of various levels and excerpts from interviews with
theatre professionals.
