"Stagecraft is a technical aspect of theatrical, film, and video production."
The selection of appropriate materials and tools for building the set, such as wood, plastic, metal, rigging equipment, paint, and special effects materials.
Materials Science: This is the study of different materials and their properties such as strength, durability, and flexibility.
Woodworking: This involves the use of different tools and techniques to cut, shape, and join wood to create set pieces.
Metalworking: This involves the use of different tools and techniques to cut, shape, and join metal to create set pieces.
Plastics and Composites: This involves the use of plastics and composite materials to create set pieces that are lightweight, durable, and easy to manipulate.
Paints and Finishing: This involves the use of different paints, stains, and finishing techniques to give a unique look to the set pieces.
Tools and Equipment: This includes different types of tools such as saws, drills, lathes, routers, and welders, along with the use of safety equipment such as goggles and gloves.
Stagecraft: This includes the design and construction of stage components including flats, platforms, stairs, and rigging.
Drafting: This involves the use of technical drawings to plan and design the set pieces.
Fabrication Techniques: This includes different fabrication techniques such as welding, soldering, and brazing.

"It includes constructing and rigging scenery; hanging and focusing of lighting; design and procurement of costumes; make-up; stage management; audio engineering; and procurement of props."
"Stagecraft is distinct from the wider umbrella term of scenography."
"Considered a technical rather than an artistic field..."
"...it is primarily the practical implementation of a scenic designer's artistic vision."
"In its most basic form, stagecraft may be executed by a single person..."
"Regional theaters and larger community theaters will generally have a technical director and a complement of designers..."
"...bringing a show to opening night requires the work of skilled carpenters, painters, electricians, stagehands, stitchers, wigmakers, and the like."
"Modern stagecraft is highly technical and specialized..."
"Modern stagecraft is highly technical and specialized: it comprises many sub-disciplines..."
