The New Venture Theatre Production Manual

This is the latest iteration of the New Venture Theatre Production Manual. The original version was produced in 2007 by the then Artistic Director and Assistant Artistic Director. The aim of the document is to provide an overview of the production process and roles within the New Venture Theatre structure and some guidance for new Directors.
Each section listed below is complete in itself, but also combines to provide a fairly comprehensive manual.
