UPDATE: There is an updated version of this chart available here: https://scenicandlighting.com/article/theatre-hiearchy-chart-2021/

This is a theatre hierarchy chart that I made for a class in about 1999. I have used it for several classes since then.

In 2013, I contributed it to a open-education resource site, BroadwayEducators.com. It has gotten picked up by a lot of people since then. It comes up readily on Google for "theatre hierarchy." I think it's popular because it is not a pure hierarchy. It shows lines of communication rather than just who reports to who.

I recently found this blog entry from 2015 by Tom Cline at Oberlin College:
https://www.oberlin.edu/blogs/coming-home-summer-theater-adventures-and-org-charts
Mr. Cline color coded the chart to track what various people did for a children's theatre company. I like this because it acknowledges a reality: individual people wear many hats in this business. Even so, we all tend to pay attention to which job we are speaking from at a given moment - if not, we should try to.

The color coding neatly adds an extra dimension to the chart . He has simply blacked out any position that this company does not use.

A small company could post this with a key. Individual names could correspond to colors. It gets confusing in some companies when inviduals do lots of jobs. Developing professionals sometimes get confused and think multiple jobs are the same.

For a brief second I might suggest this color-coding for use in a high school theatre. That's where kids are learning what these jobs are for the very first time. It's perfect! Until we color-code it.

Let's label everything yellow that the H.S. Drama director probably does.

The typical high school drama director is a one-person creative and production team. I probably missed a few.

We host an annual theatre conference at our university. High schools from all over the state attend. Sometimes, in conversation, a high school director will say something apologetic or sheepish about the quality of the shows at their school.

If you are the running a theatre program in a high school, it is likely that you are the director, producer, technical director, set designer, costume designer, lighting designer, prop master, makeup designer, wardrobe supervisor, master carpenter, master painter, and sound engineer. You manage to mount a show using nothing but absolute beginners and a theatre space that may or may not double as a classroom, gymnasium, or assembly hall. You are probably working far beyond the hours on your contract.

Most of the time that I work on a show, we have an individual master electrician, director, costume designer, producer, sound engineer, and most of the rest of this.

I cannot say for certain that a show that my program puts up will look a little more impressive than your's. I tell you what, though: if it doesn't? Shame on us.

"Gain confidence and make new friends!"

Theatre Cats Stage School is an exciting and dynamic school of Theatre Arts that was established in Burton on Trent in January 2008. Theatre Cats is for children and young adults aged between 4 and 18 years of age and offers theatre classes in Burton, Swadlincote and Mickleover. Classes are separated by age rather than ability; over time we have come to find that not only is this good for improving the confidence of complete beginners - it also develops a strong sense of leadership in students with previous acting experience.

"Leave their shyness and worries behind!"

All classes begin with drama skills and activities, helping to build confidence and self-esteem. Your child will soon settle in and make some lovely new friends. These classes are especially designed to be great fun for all ages and abilities!

Every student needs to get the most from each session, therefore numbers are strictly limited to just 20 students per class. This ensures that each student receives personalised tuition to help them progress quickly in a secure and positive environment, which in turn enables them to gain self-confidence and self-esteem. Every child is offered the chance to try Theatre Cats for free at a no obligation trial class. Classes are then just £8.50 per session.

"Everyone is given the opportunity

to shine within Theatre Cats!"

Extra Activities...

We run a vast array of optional activities throughout the year including theatre trips and holiday workshops based on specific themes or popular musicals...

The past 16 years have seen our students rehearse and perform an entire show in a week! These 'Holiday Schools' have included High School Musical, Shrek, The Wizard of Oz, Oliver, Aladdin, Beauty and The Beast, The Jungle Book, Sweeney Todd and many more!

Workshops will also be available from outside agencies offering extra tuition in singing, musical theatre, circus skills, dance, performance and much more.

Each student also has the option to train towards Trinity College drama examinations. These are offered from Initial Level up to the *UCAS Recognised Grades 6 - 8* (excellent for those pursuing a career in acting and/or wishing to study drama at a Higher Education Level). These exams are not compulsory but are an excellent way for children to receive recognition for their hard work. Trinity exam tuition is at no extra cost to our students but the examination fees are in addition to session costs. 2023 was our 14th year of taking part in Trinity College examinations and there have been over 600 exams taken during that time...This year we had 100% merits and distinctions!!!

"Their opinion and contribution is valued!"

Reporting to Parents

Parents will want to know how their child is progressing and so we welcome any questions or queries at any time. We also have a very handy WhatsApp group so parents always are in the know. Students also perform in dramas, musicals, concerts, charity events and showcases which parents will be invited to. Theatre Cats also issue certificates and rewards at the end of each term to celebrate hard work and dedication. These include 100% Attendance Award, Star Award and Most Improved Student Award. We also give out Star or the Week treats to celebrate continued progress.

"We encourage confidence and self-esteem"

Expectations

Here at Theatre Cats we pride ourselves on being a friendly, inclusive and exciting stage school which offers everyone - regardless of previous experience, the opportunity for development to become the best they can be. Our aim is to encourage confidence and self-esteem through the performing arts. Learning through these art forms allows children to explore their creativity and have fun whilst leaving their shyness and worries behind... not just in the classroom, but for good!

Our students have the opportunity to connect with others in a more meaningful way. In our opinion the arts encourage speech development, awareness of body language and encourage your child to become more socially aware. Drama and the arts installs confidence in children by allowing them to improvise and experiment. Our promise is simple; that they will gain this confidence by understanding that there is no 'final answer' and that their opinion and contribution is valued...

...to sum Theatre Cats up: Our team are dedicated to ensuring that your child receives only the very best tuition in a fun and safe environment.

EVERYONE is given the opportunity

to shine within Theatre Cats!
