Challenges and problems of theater production and performance – (Second part)

Hassan Jodaki, a veteran theater director and supervising producer, said: "A supervising producer is someone who has full supervision over the production of a project and executions of the producer's wishes during the rehearsals and performance. In fact, it is considered a communication bridge between the producer and the production team and the designers and performers.”

Iman Yazdi believed: "The field of production is obviously dependent on the financial section of the project, including contracts and management of production costs. Therefore the supervising producer starts the job long before the production manager.”

                                                                    

Maryam Roudbarani is one of the active people in this field, she said: " I think the supervising producer is a person who is obliged to manage  the team in such a way that this project is completed at the specified time and in the predetermined place with the budget and with the maximum technical capacity ."

 

Emad Ameri stated that theater production has a lot of risk: "The importance of the production manager and supervising producer in arranging the cast with the director's opinion and dealing with executive affairs is to remove the burden of performance from the director's shoulders , so director only focuses  on the artistic side of the work.”

Saeed Siadat says that these jobs do not have a correct definition, so currently everyone defines and  do them according to their own conditions and tastes. some works for resume building and some do it because of economic issues."

He added : "Sometimes theater groups are looking for a person who has good connections to cooperate with the cast and crew. This is also one of the thing that seems to cause the use of this expertise in a bolder way."
