Props, also known as
theatrical property, is an objects used on stage by actors. Smaller props are
referred to as “hand props”. Larger props may be set decoration, such as a
table or chairs.
The only difference
between a set decoration and a prop is use. If an item is not touched by an
actor for any reason it is simply set decoration, if it is touch by an actor
then it is a prop.
Many props are
ordinary objects, however they must look real to the audience. Most real
objects do a poor job of looking like themselves that specially produced props
are created to look more like the actual item. In some cases props are designed
to behave differently than the real object would (often for the sake of
safet). A good example of this is breakaway such as sugar glass or balsa-wood
furniture, these objects breakages look real but often cause no injury. Even
for these seemingly safe props stunt doubles are often brought in..
