When a play is being performed on the stage， it is not only the
actors who are working， although they may be the only ones
seen and heard by the audience. Behind the scenes， somewhere，
is a team of people or a stage crew as it is called， that has helped
to get the play ready for its performance， and that does all the
necessary practical tasks when the play is eventually being per-
formed. These practical tasks will probably include the building
and putting up of scenery， the making and use of props， sound
and lighting effects， and sometimes even the cleaning of the
stage! The importance of good stagecraft is that it helps the
actor to give a more convincing performance， thereby increas-
ing the enjoyment of the audience. Backstage work must always
be in keeping with the mood and atmosphere of the play being
performed， and should be carried out as accurately and as
thoroughly as possible， bearing in mind how it will all seem
from the audience s point of view. Poor stagecraft， shoddily
done， can break the atmosphere of a play and ruin a good
performance， but if care and thought have been used， it can be
very exciting to be in a team which has contributed to a success-
ful production.
