This was an interesting look into the way that roles were defined and split up for musical productions. It’s interesting to me how much of these productions is divided up, and that does happen when you get to larger sample sizes but I’ve found that they stay very small, and usually have more work and less distinction between roles, stuff needs to get done and sometimes it just falls on the person who is most able, not necessarily because of job but also to keep workloads reasonable between them, especially in a small group of people where you are likely knowing them well and working. Are these roles necessary in the way that they are set out? Generally, almost always, e can make things better than they are currently, at least better at supporting a different way of looking at things or a different set of responses in the people working.
