1 hr confidence: 
stage manager/back-stage manager Explanation: I think this is what they are generally called. I believe they are interchangeable and would work in tandem with a front-of-house manager, for instance. Organises and co-ordinates rehearsals and performances, and liaises between the director and the technical staff. The stage manager leads a team usually comprising a deputy stage manager (DSM) and one or more assistant stage managers (ASM), though in small companies/touring theatre, the stage manager may handle all areas of the production. My only proviso would be to check whether the term might not mean technical manager. I hope this might be clear from your list. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-07-10 11:46:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I saw this before your posting re Inspizienz. Therefore, I would tend to go for back-stage or technical manager. Different outfits divide jobs differently and they sometimes overlap in their meaning. |
