set change
Backstage crew's hustle
A set change is the process of transitioning from one stage set to another during a theatrical production, typically occurring between scenes or acts.
Stage crews strike the current scenery and props while bringing in new elements: The set change took longer than expected, leaving the audience in darkness.
Quick set changes happen in view of the audience; others occur behind a curtain.
