Stage Manager Responsible    for    overseeing    the    stage    crew, supervising    the    set    changes,    baby-sitting    the actors    and    saying    yes    to    the    Director    before doing it his way. Sound Crew Individuals    who,    from    the    only    vantage    point offering   a   full   view   of   the   stage,   give   the   director a    heart    attack    by    giving    a    scene-by-scene review of everything that's going wrong Lighting Crew Prevents   the   production   from   being   just   a   radio show   and   wakes   up   the   sound   crew   when   the scenes end.

Set Builders Group   of   unsung   heroes   who   can   build   the   set from   anything,   know   one   end   of   a   screwdriver from   another   and   then   nip   down   to   the   pub   with the sound and lighting crew to clear the dust.
