The third chapter of the theatre management book is about theatre personnel. At first it discusses how no matter how a theatre is organized, the work is always divided into three categories: administrative, production and artistic. It talks about the most successful job combinations in theatres, such as producer and director, stage manager and lighting designer, lighting designer and electrician, and many more. The chapter also talks about how to hire for certain jobs, what type of ad to place and what kind of resume information will be necessary.
This chapter went indepth into the characteristics needed for effective personnel, the labor laws associated with these various positions. I did not find this chapter very interesting because I am not interested in running my own theatre or being in a position to hire people. The only part I found relatively interesting was the part about managing unsalaried personnel, such as volunteers, students, interns, and apprentices.
