stage props
Fake items onstage
Stage props are the movable objects used in theatrical, film, or television productions—furniture, weapons, books, food, anything actors handle or interact with during a scene.
Props distinguish themselves from scenery (the background) and costumes (what actors wear).
A props department or prop master manages these items: The stage props included a working telephone and a fake pistol.
