Theatrical Design Overview : 9 pages in length.
Experiencing the theatre is much more than going to watch an
actor on a stage; everything about that stage -- from the lighting
to the sets to the scenery -- plays an enormous role in the overall
appeal of the production. Without theatre design, there would

upon the necessity of spectacularly talented individuals to bring
a stage to life. The writer discusses the various stages of a
production, as well as briefly describes the beginnings of theatre
design. Bibliography lists 7 sources. TheatreD.wps
