Production Team

The Production Team will include a Producer, Director, Stage Mgr., and House Mgr. The team may include the Technical Director, Scenic Designer, Lighting Designer, Costumes Designer, Sound Designer, Props Master, or others designated by the Producer and/or Director.  The team may include additional positions, as well as assistants, as deemed necessary for each particular production. For instance, in a musical the choreographer and musical director would be included in the production team. (See Job Descriptions for more details.)

Each member of the Production Team acts as an agent of the producing organization.  The Production Team is responsible for the individual aspects of their area of expertise.  The Production Team is responsible for the safe and proper use of Yale College facilities.  The Production Team must accept responsibility for the safe and proper conduct of the technicians, volunteers and other production staff working with them.

The Sponsoring Organization:  Some Producers may choose to mount the production through an existing undergraduate organization.  If this is the case, the officers of the Sponsoring Organization need to be listed on the registration form as well.  These officers along with the Producer, Director and Stage Manager may be held responsible for damagers or liabilities arising from the use of Yale College facilities.  It is not requisite that a production must have a Sponsoring Organization.

The Technical Advisor must be kept advised of and fully involved in the process of the team’s work.
