Assistant Director

The assistant director(s) of a performance have the following responsibilities.

1) They are responsible for the actual performance...or at least a part of the performance.  Sometimes there will be multiple assistant directors who each have their own set of responsibilities.

2) They are hired by either the director or producer and report directly to the director.

3)  They are usually paid by means of a contract, usually worth a percentage of the gross proceeds of the performance although a smaller percentage than the director.
