ROLES IN A S T A G E

PR O D U CT I O N
PRODUCER
In a professional stage production, this
is the person who takes the play from a
mere concept to an actual finished
presentation.
PRODUCER

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.
DIRECTOR
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.
PLAYWRIGHT
Writer of the script.
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.
LIGHT 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, signalling 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.
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
This role specializes on enhancing the
atmosphere of the performance.
TECHNICAL DIRECTOR
Ensures that every instruction is properly
executed.
CHOREOGRAPHER
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.
MAKE UP DESIGNER
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.
