What are jobs in live musical theatre besides acting and directing ?

I'm really interested in theatre and I'm studying PR but, I wanted to know what other jobs there are in musical theatre and what they involve ?

What are jobs in live musical theatre besides acting and directing ?
There are plenty of different jobs. There are set designers, costume designers, prop coordinators, light technicians, curtain flyers, ticket sales, ushers/usherettes, makeup artists, stage crew/hands, sound board coordinator, assistant directors, advertising coordinators, and dancers. I hope one of these will work for what you are looking for. Good luck in your future endeavors!
Reply:The term which encompasses most of the above jobs mentioned (such as sound and lighting design, set construction, costume design, scene painting, and stage management) is "technical theater", and you can study it at many colleges (for example, U. Michigan and Ithaca College are both known for their strong technical theater programs.)
Reply:The lights and set crew, but I'm not sure if thats what you're asking. Hope it helps.
