Producing

Within this project, I will also be taking on the challenge of producing a play. I have practised directing in Drama classes before but i've never had the opportunity to produce before.

I researched what the job of a producer is and I found that they are the very first person to start the process of the play by choosing a script; so I've already started producing!

Other jobs of a producer include:

-Finding a director

-Securing funds

-Finding a venue

-Scheduling auditions and rehearsals

-Hiring support staff (e.g. lighting)

-Casting

-Arranging purchase of props/ sets

-Advertise the play

-Reimburse the staff

There is a lot of work to do as a producer and a lot of costs involved; therefore it is important for my to advertise the play well so I make a profit from ticket sales.
