Other Managers, Crews, and General Occupations - Jobs in the Theatre - Part 21

It seems that I have pretty much exhausted what I can write about in fair certainty about jobs in the theatre. There are always some differences in different theatres with the jobs. However, what is now left seem to be general descriptions of other managers, assistant managers, run crews, build crews, and other general positions.

Some of the positions are things like musicians which can be anybody who may play in a band or orchestra or may be a singer in a choir. Dancers are the people who dance. They are under the conductor and choreographer who are under the director when it comes to theatre hierarchy.

I found that there was a deck manager, but it seems that this can be many things in the theatre. Some people say that the deck manager is also the assistant stage manager (ASM). Some poeple give the deck manager a different jobs. When also the ASM, it seems the deck manager is responsible for making sure there is order backstage. He or she is also in charge of making sure backstage is clean before a performance and also taking out the trash from both backstage and the lobby (and other places if trash is located there) after the show.

Other theatres seem to give the deck manager duties such as making sure staff for certain areas is present and being in charge of the audio equipment. Some give the deck manager the duties of helping load set pieces if the production is on tour or being staged at a different venue from where rehearsals were held.
