LOL we're having this problem at the theatre I'm at right now with a designer that's like "And I want this $50/yard fabric and two of these ludicrously expensive fabrics and 25 different chairs and oooooh what about a parachute and three tapestries!" Like, buddy, this ain't Broadway, calm da fuck down.

BASICALLY. its like the only way any of this is possible is with millions of dollars to be able to pay for these problems to be solved, otherwise getting u a freight train off-schedule to appear on the scene + 3-4 stunt drivers or securing an entire theme park ride which would most likely mean securing the location for an entire theme park off-hours.... i need several million to even pretend that’s feasible

Whhhaaatt but that is the complete opposite?? Also I, too am an INFJ. Wonder if I'd get the same answer as you on this.

@backstageleft We had a talk with a director in class about a pool of water being lit red to simulate blood. Someone suggested using raw meat as the industry standard. MeatGate has come to Toronto

I just read through some of the replies for BackStageLeft’s question about props being its own department and realized that I was never introduced to the idea of a production manager until I moved to Boston about two years ago. In college, the stage manager usually took on the same position (but it was specified that the stage manager was on the same hierarchal level of the designers). When I worked summer stock, the production managers were far more administration based than theatre based and had relatively little to do with the actual run of show. And when I worked in Texas, there was no production manager. All production answered straight to the director for all artistic questions and to the technical director or stage manager for technical/logistic questions.

I’m curious, what are other people’s interactions with the hierarchal level of production manager vs. stage manager vs. production stage manager?
