The document discusses the roles of the dramaturg, director, and producer in the theater production process. It describes how the dramaturg helps directors by researching plays and preparing reports. Directors work with designers on the physical production and with performers during rehearsals to block scenes and observe movement and pacing. Producers oversee the financial and business aspects of a production, raising funds, securing rights, and managing budgets. The director's role is to integrate the artistic elements, while the producer coordinates the business side.
