this is the spotlight. it is located on the roof of the theater overlooking the stage. the spotlight is a very powerful light that will shine a beam onto the stage mostly used to highlight something or someone, the spotlight is controlled by a person whose job is to point it at the actors.

 

this is the control panel this is where the backstage crew controls the flys that will go up or down. this will set the scenes on stage based on the needs of the show. different flys can show different areas and this will control which flys go down.

 

these are the motor that the control panel controls they are the ones that do the heavy lifting and actually lift the flys up or let them down. they receive information from the control panels and start spinning lifting the flys up or down.

 

this is the pit. underneath the stage. this is where the orchestra or band people reside while a show is happening. it is very cramped and it is a place where the musicians play music without disturbing the show as much.

 

this is the lighting area on top of the roof above the audience. it has rows of powerful light that shines onto the actors on stage. these particular ones are powered by a light bulb instead of a led which makes them incredibly hot while running.

i am a freshman  and i have 2 dogs

 

i am interested in making some props and knowing more about the backstage of a theater production.

 

i am not really concerned about anything at the moment. though however I would prefer scenic design but I don’t mind lighting.

 

i did design in middle school.
