It is essential that a strong Artistic Team is put together to insure a quality show, a show that the parents, students and staff will be proud of and – most importantly – brings glory to God. Therefore, it is important to find the best people to serve on the Artistic Team.
The Artistic Team consists of the Director, the Musical Director, the Choreographer and the Assistant Director/Stage Manager. Other important team members may include the Fight Choreographer, the Rehearsal Accompanist and a Lighting/Sound Designer. These key people will be working closely with each other as a TEAM over the course of the rehearsals and performances.
A survey is sent to potential artistic team members in order to help “cast” the Artistic Teams for the season. Results of this survey are considered by the Artistic Director with input from the Executive Director. Many times, Directors may have suggestions of people with whom they would like to work. Since First Act looks for quality individuals who are talented and work well with children, the Artistic Director welcomes these suggestions for artistic team members. The ultimate decision of who will serve on the Artistic Team is made by the Artistic Director who acts as the Producer of the show and oversees the overall production.
Artistic Team Members must have proficiency, passion and past experience in their expertise:
