Impesarie

"As the leader of this troupe, I promise to create a show worthy of Their Majesties!"

Career

Qualifications

An impresarie must have good people skills, PR skills, and writing skills, as well as the skills of a director. Some impresarie focus on the advertising and PR part of the job, while a director may direct the actors, and a writer (or team of writers) write the plays

Payment & Reimbursement

Impresarie are paid like their troupe, but their payment is received in advance before the troupe arrives in a town. So in some respects, the troupe is paid twice--once for the impresarie to promote the troupe and stage the show, and once for the actors, for a job well done.

Other Benefits

A good impresarie can even turn the worst of troupes around, and make them stars overnight.

If a troupe is caught putting on a play they shouldn't, the blame falls on the impresarie--depending on the nature and severity of the offense, they may be warned, fined, or in the most extreme cases, sentenced to long prison terms
