prop masters
Theater object wranglers
A prop master is the person responsible for acquiring, organizing, and managing all props—portable objects used by actors—in a film, television, or theatrical production.
The role requires coordinating with directors and designers to ensure every item, from a character's coffee cup to a murder weapon, appears correctly in each scene.
The prop master spent weeks sourcing period-accurate telephones for the 1940s drama.
