  • Production Manual to Determine and Understand the Adjacent and Overlapping Duties of Your Associates
    Southeast Missouri State University Department of Theatre & Dance Performance & Production Guidelines Explanation This manual is designed to be a reference for all members of a Production Team to explain and clarify the necessary production work expectations, duties and responsibilities of the various crews and crew head positions at Southeast Missouri State University. This manual's intent is to promote positive and constructive communication, while providing easily accessible information on how productions are mounted at Southeast Missouri State University. This manual does not preclude discussions with the faculty, staff, and student personnel responsible for the various production areas. Preface Theatrical productions are an example of live collaborative craft. A collaborative craft means simply that no one group or member of the production team is any more or less important, or carries the entire burden of the production. Each member of the production team has specific responsibilities and duties. Those duties, when executed with proper respect and communication, can lead to the ultimate theatrical goal of creating the best possible example of the theatrical craft. Southeast Missouri State University is an academic institution; therefore many aspects of production will be linked to course work for members of the Production Team. All members of the Production Team need to be aware that sharpening of the theatrical craft is the fundamental goal of academic production work. Mistakes, blunders, experimentation, and even failure, in terms of communication, budgets, schedules, experiments, etc., are all part of the educational system. Patience and respect for other individuals’ need to explore and learn for themselves is required of all members of the production team.
