theatrical staging
Mounting a play
Theatrical staging is the arrangement of actors, scenery, and props on a stage—the physical composition of a dramatic production.
The term extends to any presentation designed for dramatic effect: The press conference felt like theatrical staging rather than genuine communication.
Good staging guides the audience's attention and reinforces the story being told.
