One of the best ways to experience the culture of your city is by patronizing the local theaters. Even if the institution is small, these theaters always seem to have a way of attracting the talented individuals of a city. One of the easiest ways, however, for a play to be successful is to make the audience forget they are watching a play at all. To that end, the set designs and props should be so realistic that audience members can actually forget they are sitting in a theater at all.
If you’re involved in your local theater production and you’re trying to put together a period piece, don’t forget the importance of these props. Especially when it comes to dramatic fight scenes, make sure the highly choreographed routine isn’t nullified by having cheesy guns or swords. Invest in high quality replica guns, and you will help the audience buy into the false sense of reality you’ve created onstage.
