O Theatre Institute of African Studies Management Budget Planning Organisation Staffing 369p This study investigated theatre management practices, policies and styles in three higher educational institutions in Nigeria. The conceptual base for the study was the review of appropriate planning, organisational, staffing, programming, budgetary and management theories used in analysing the practice and management of university theatres in Nigeria. The study was conducted through extensive inter-views of theatre practitioners in the three universities and by intensive examination of their records of the objectives, production plans, theatre houses, staffing and financial policies to determine their inputs and outputs Findings from the study revealed that theatre is practised in Nigerian Universities in combinations of four discernible forms in time perspectives, namely, a theatre department (a) without a resident company but which mounts departmental productions, or (b) with a resident company as a laboratory to the department, or (c) with a resident company which is commercially oriented and independent of the university department of theatre, or with a resident company which is based in a Cultural Centre or an Institute of African Studies Each theatre revealed aspects of similarities and differences in objectives as well as organisational, staffing and financial support for the theatre. Such differences, it was found, accounted for varying measures of successes and failures. The study showed that some of the university theatres were not originally properly planned to make them results-oriented, hence, a system of long-range planning using the Planning- Programming-Budgeting-System was recommended. The practice of keeping theatre artistes on tenure till retirement age called for a review as it was not considered cost-effective. Based on these findings, it was recommended that University theatres should aspire to be selfsufficient and self-balancing, and that they should also devise more practical control measures to avoid financial mismanagements and wastages. 2020-02-07T13:58:23Z 2020-02-07T13:58:23Z 1985 Thesis Thesis https://ir.oauife.edu.ng/handle/123456789/5161 en application/pdf Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Nigeria
