As the day for your theatrical performance nears, you may begin wondering how you can maximize your time efficiency as you change from one scene to the next. While it may seem like there is no solution to speed up the process while keeping it smooth and seamless, you are in luck. There are a number of helpful tips that can make transitioning from one scene to the next easier than you ever imagined.

Have Costumes Ready
Quick costume changes are a staple in the theater industry. The best way to help actors and actresses make this change quickly is by having everything ready to go. Also, ask them to wear a body suit under their clothes so they don’t have to get completely undressed. This will allow them to change as soon as they step off stage. In many cases, having the costumes nearby and ready to go will save up to a minute off of transition time.

Use Quality Scenery Moving Equipment
The scenery from one part of a play to another has to be changed. The large, bulky and heavy items can prove to be cumbersome and difficult to move without a bit of assistance. One of the best ways to move these items efficiently is by using quality theater casters. These can be attached to dollies and other equipment, making moving and changing scenery seamless.

Have a Great Support Team
While those on the stage are important to any production, those behind stage have a role that is equally important. Without a quality support team, you may find the entire production is slow and not well orchestrated. Be sure to build a team of quality support team members who know what is going on and who will help guide the entire production. In the long run, this will make the entire process easier and more time efficient.

Practice and Plan
Transitioning from one scene to another needs to be practiced. In many cases, it should be practiced as much as the lines of the play. By practicing and planning ahead you will have the best chance of a successful production.

By using the tips here, you will find that your theater production goes off without a hitch. No one wants to have to wait for the play to transition from one scene to another. Efficient time management is possible when you utilize the information found here.
