stage setup
Before the curtain
Stage setup is the arrangement of equipment, scenery, and technical elements for a performance or presentation.
In theater, it encompasses lighting rigs, sound systems, props, and set pieces.
The term extends to any prepared environment: The stage setup for the conference included three screens and a podium.
Musicians use it for their amplifiers, monitors, and instruments: The band's stage setup took two hours.
