Theatre Management and Back Stage Personnel

Theatre Management and Back Stage Personnel: Introduction

Front-of-House and backstage personnel are the two basic divisions of theatrical functionaries.  The first of these is an alphabetical listing of all those who "governed" the house and those who toiled backstage.  The only exception to the alphabetical ordering is those who contracted with the theatre—mainly the playhouse printers and lighting technicians.  They are listed by business name.

In this index, we indicate in parentheses each person’s function: printers, stage mechanics, directors of music, etc., and years in service.

We have included whatever names we could find in the sources with their job titles, but users will see gaps in coverage.  Bills and programs frequently omitted names for no apparent reason.  There is a temptation to fill them in by assuming there was little change over the years.  A man who was ballet master in 1869, 1871-76, and 1878 was likely to hold the post in 1870 and 1877.  The reader is at liberty to make this assumption; we must be guided by our researches.

The second index, in tabular form, is an alphabetical listing of all personnel by theatrical function, preceded by the years of service.  Regularizing of job titles has taken place, reducing them to about forty: however, the daily calendars retain the wording found on the bills.  Thus machinery is here rendered as machinist, but in the appropriate daily calendar, the term will appear as the former.  Very occasionally, individuals associated with a visiting company are listed even though they were not members of the regular Adelphi Theatre staff.  The editors prefer to include rather than exclude information.  If the user wishes to know the names of the lessees of the theatre, he clicks on "lessees" and is taken directly to a chart showing names of the six lessees whose names appear in the sources and the years they held that position.  It is worth noting some people were very faithful in their duty.  Godbee may have been costumer for almost forty years and William Perkins a scenic artist for twenty-seven.  It may be no coincidence that the most conscientious entry in the bills is that of the printers’ names.
