12. Props

Types of Props:
1. Hand Props - handled or carried by the actors

2. Set Props - Large movable objects, not built into the set
- Examples: Furniture, lamps, rugs, etc...

3. Decorative Props / Set Dressing - Not touched or moved during the performance

Where can you get props?

Should props be real or fake? Things to consider...
- Are they touched by an actor?
- Is it breakable?
