Cast
The Cast Members of a performance have the
following responsibilities.
1) Memorization and performance of all of their
character's lines, cues, entrances, exits and movements.
2) They are hired by either the director or producer.
Usually the leads are contracted by the producer and other smaller parts
are cast by the director. They report directly to the director.
3) Depending on the actor or actress' fame and
production history, they may be paid by means of a contract (usually including
a percentage of the gross proceeds), salary or hourly (usually reserved
for small walk-on parts).
These are the actors in the production. Usually this
makes up the largest single group of participants and is the only group
seen by the audience.
