régisseuse

A régisseuse is a professional responsible for managing the financial and logistical aspects of a theater production or film. Their duties often involve budgeting, overseeing expenses, handling payroll, and ensuring that all financial records are accurate and up-to-date. In theater, the régisseuse typically works closely with the producer and stage management team. In film, they are part of the production office and liaise with various departments to track spending.

The role requires strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of financial management. A régisseuse must be able to work under pressure and often deals with tight deadlines and complex financial information. They are crucial for the smooth operation of a production, as they help maintain financial stability and prevent costly overruns.

In some contexts, the term can also refer to a female stage manager or a person who manages the front-of-house operations in a theater, such as selling tickets or managing the audience. However, the primary and most common meaning relates to financial management within the performing arts and film industries. The specific responsibilities can vary depending on the size and scope of the production.
