Welcome
What do we need to put on a show?
Besides the obvious - a theatre, a script, actors, dancers, musicians, technicians, etc., you'll probably need to source scenery, costumes, make up wigs, props, tickets, publicity printing, lighting, special effects, sound equipment and more. In other words you'll need to source things from stage suppliers.
