Philostrate was created in 1596.
Theseus commands Philostrate to find entertainment for the evening, manage the festivities and ensure everything runs smoothly. He also instructs Philostrate to oversee the preparations for the upcoming wedding celebration.
the philostrate is
Philostrate.
Philostrate believes that the Mechanicals' play is not suitable for the refined tastes of the Duke and his court. He thinks it is a poor choice for entertainment and is concerned about how it might reflect on the Duke and his court if they were to witness such a performance.
I guess you could look at Philostrate as a wedding planner. He is responsible for the entertainment at the wedding, but that would be an interesting modern take on his job.
Theseus is a great leader. this is because he cares for his his people and enforces the law of the land. he is also a selfless leader because he wants everyone to be happy on his wedding day and he gives the working mens play a chance even though Philostrate told him it was terrible.
Act V Scene 1 of A Midsummer Night's Dream is in fact all of Act 5. The following things happen: 1. Theseus muses on the similarity of lunatics, lovers and poets. 2. Theseus asks Philostrate what entertainment they should have. Against Philostrate's advice he chooses Bottom and company. 3. Bottom and company perform Pyramus and Thisbe. 4. Theseus and the young marrieds go to bed. 5. The fairies appear and bless the newlyweds. 6. Puck delivers an epilogue.

The company would have consisted in sharers, or partners, apprentices and hired men. The apprentices were teenage boys who played all the young women's parts. The hired men included not only actors but also musicians, stage hands and tiremen (people who worked in the costume department). There are nine listed partners when the King's Men was chartered, and this might give an approximate idea of the number of partners at any one time. But it is obvious that there must have been a number of hired actors who formed part of the company, because Shakespeare's plays frequently call for so many actors to be on stage at once that the sharers would barely have been sufficient to play everyone on stage. Think of the last act of A Midsummer Night's Dream: apart from the four women, there are five "rude mechanicals", Theseus, Demetrius, Lysander, Philostrate, Puck, and Oberon, plus "lords and attendants" who accompany Theseus and a train of fairies for Oberon. With Theseus doubling Oberon, Philostrate doubling Puck and Hippolyta doubling Titania, it could just barely be done with nine actors and three apprentices, with a bunch of hired men as the attendants and train.
