  Theatrical producer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The producer is generally responsible for securing funds for the production, either through his or her own company or by taking on investors in the production via a limited partnership agreement.
Although the producer is responsible for hiring the creative team, this is generally done in consultation with the director and the playwright who generally have artistic approvals over the designers.
In non-profit professional theatre the producer's primary bussiness responsibilities generally fall on the Managing Director with creative decisions falling under the pervue of the Artistic Director.

The story was outrageous: flop-covered theatrical producer Max Bialystock realizes the road to his financial redemption lies in producing the worst musical ever written, raising 25,000 percent of the capital, and pocketing it all when the show is a one-night-only disaster.
Aided and abetted by a nebbishy accountant named Leo Bloom, Bialystock options the rights to a "gay romp with Adolf and Eva in Berchtesgarten" called "Springtime for Hitler." Of course, if the show, by some insane stretch of credulity, were to become a hit, Bialystock and Bloom would be thrown in jail.

To clinch his recognition as the fastest rising theatrical entrepreneur on Broadway, he signed an exclusive contract with actor-turned-playwright William Gillette to produce all of that successful author's works.
Producers or performers who crossed the Trust found themselves unable to put on their plays.
