No role should be thought of as more important than another. Just as some roles require much more commitment of time and effort than others, so some members have more time to give than others. The audience's evening can be spoilt equally by mislaid props, a late sound or lighting cue, a badly directed movement, mixed up tickets, a forgotten line or horrible coffee.
