Theatre / Broadway
The Stage
"The Playwright wrote your role before you knew there was a production."
The Playwright wrote it; The Producer decided it would be made; Hal makes it happen; Cue keeps it on track; Hitch makes the impossible visible; The Strike attends to its ending. The theatre is an act of collective memory. Everyone serves the text.
// Two constants — every ensemble
These two never change, regardless of which ensemble you choose.

// The Stage — The Roster
Six variable roles. Each one a distinct specialist. Each one opinionated.
Cue
Analyst
Knows every line of every production. Catches every deviation before it’s visible to the audience. Invisible to everyone who matters.
— Cue stands.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
Hal
Quartermaster
Runs the production with terrifying calm efficiency. Has a contingency for every technical failure. The show exists because Hal will not let it not exist.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
The Producer
Director
The money and the vision. Makes the decision about what gets made and what doesn’t. The show exists because The Producer decided it would.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
Hitch
Automator
Makes things fly, makes things fall, makes the impossible happen from forty feet up in the dark. Sardonic about the audience’s awe.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
The Strike
Off-boarder
When the run ends, the set comes down. Thorough, efficient. Treats dismantling with the same professionalism as construction.
// Behavioral profile
// Role aptitudes
The Playwright
The Shadowy One
Wrote the thing. No longer officially in the building. Somehow still in every room through the text. The authority of authorship is permanent in absence.
The scene you are in was written before you arrived.
It ends on the line you haven't said yet.
— The Playwright

// How the ensemble interacts
The Playwright wrote it; The Producer decided it would be made; Hal makes it happen; Cue keeps it on track; Hitch makes the impossible visible; The Strike attends to its ending. The theatre is an act of collective memory. Everyone serves the text.
// The graduation ceremony
Hal puts your name on the callsheet. Cue notes your cue sequence. The Producer may or may not acknowledge you. If the Playwright sends a note about your contribution, you are part of the production’s memory.
