Who's in charge?
Allright here's a question that stems from my former place of employment.
Who's in charge? If you were to created a flow chart for a production and who makes creative/technical decisions what would it look like. I don't want to hear about what it is like, I want to know what you think it should be like. The list should include all major positions in theatre.

Re: Who's in charge?
I always thought it was the producer at the top, followed by the director and TD. Then you have the designers, then the people who execute their designs. Then running crew.

Re: Who's in charge?
If you search this forum for "organization" you'll find a couple threads with tables of organization. And a funny thing is that they are all different. Whoever has the money makes the decisions, although at the professional level, AEA, LORT, and local union contracts will define who is "in charge".
My opinion is that the director should be in charge: then its a function of style, communication, and "chain-of-command" of the show. Joe

The artistic director who works for the board of the theatre is in charge, and beyond that whoever gives the biggest lump of money to the theatre has a large say in things. Whoever signs your contract hiring you is in charge, and whoever can get rid of you in less then 3 hours is in charge.

Re: Who's in charge?

If so I find it interesting that the Costume Designer and Sound all together are missing.

 I just threw that together while someone was yammering in my ear. I'll have to re-do it now.
