Download or read book Theater Management written by Theresa A. Collins and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The job of theater manager is unrecognized by many and defined differently, depending on the employer. Some managers are elevated versions of a head usher while others have financial responsibilities which number into the millions. This heuristic study focuses on union theater managers. the managers speak to the experience of managing by defining their daily tasks, how they interact with show personnel, prepare their staffs for emergencies, handle difficult customers and survive in the entertainment industry which is known for its shark-filled environment. There is sparse literature about this field and job classification. the subject often warrants no more than a few paragraphs in books about other topics such as producing or stage managing. This work dissects the job in terms of supervising theater staff, interacting with unions, facility management, show personnel and providing customer service. It details financial concerns, instructing how to budget theater costs for an incoming show, calculate a gross potential, check a box office statement, read a show contract and prepare a settlement. Through the text and in separate appendixes are examples of important documents such as emergency and life safety procedures, theater specs and samples of building and performance-related forms which can be modeled for venue use. the concept of managerial imagination is developed as an important career tool. the theater managers interviewed demonstrate through observation or involvement how to think creatively and come up with solutions to problems when resources are inadequate or non-existent. Concluding these chapters are interviews with industry professionals who offer unique insights into a group of people who have made theater their life's work. Their words show a solid belief in the continued growth of the industry into the 21st century. the job of the theater manager has always been an intricate part of the theatrical community and will be a necessary component as a decade begins which will blend new technology with old challenges in both front of house and backstage.
