There has been something that I enjoy to watch and be part of. I have been in many plays acting on stage and working behind the scenes. One thing I have noticed in the past is how the technicians and the crew backstage usually do not get any praise. Now I am not saying we need to get a standing ovation, but a bow at the end of the show would be much appreciated.
When you go to see a play, you usually are here to watch a story unfold in front of your eyes and watch how the actors perform. What the audience doesn't see is the crew backstage working hard to make the show possible. The stage crew is a vital part of every production. The stage would be bare without the sets, music, and the lighting to match every song and every line. It's what brings every play to life and make the story more enjoyable. The stage is often forgotten because they are not seen on stage, but the hard work and time that they put into every show should be praised.
The production of a play is like a human body. The actors are the arms and legs. The script and scenes are the brains. The nerves are the sets, the lighting, and the songs. Finally, the heart is the stage crew because they are responsible for everything and keeping the production alive.
It is easy to focus on the actors and actresses on stage, but you should look behind the curtains. Every member of the stage crew puts their heart and soul into making the play a smooth production.
The stage crew should deserve more recognition because of the amount of work they put into each thing. It can be from painting a door to making sure the actors are at the stage at the right time. They do a lot for each play and should get a bow in front of the audience.
