Assistant Director & Prompt
Assistant Director (AD)
- All productions are expected to have an Assistant.
- The role may be organisational/administrative or share artistic duties.
- Training: some directors take on novice ADs and teach throughout the process.
- Be upfront about the type of AD you want so we can suggest suitable names; earlier involvement is better.
- New Directors: Normally a minimum of two successful training assists before being considered to direct, unless a new member has a proven, verified track record elsewhere (we still expect at least one assist to learn our processes).
Prompt
- Decide if you want a rehearsal prompt and find someone to do it (Prod. Comm. can suggest names).
