From an audience perspective, most people probably don’t give a second thought to the work that goes on behind the scenes before and during a major stage performance. Unless you’ve happened to be in the audience of a play when a set failed in some way, and everything behind the scenes was suddenly laid bare. Such anomalies aside, without the planning, coordination, and orchestration from the unseen support behind the scenes, there are no scenes. We arrive, the curtain goes up, the show goes on, and we’re transported to another place and time without giving much thought about what transpired prior to curtain up and showtime.
