Stage lights have the main function of providing illumination on stage. They are used to ensure that the performers and the stage are properly lit, allowing the audience to see what is happening.

It helps to create a clear and well-lit environment, making the performance visually appealing and ensuring that the audience can fully engage with the show.

Submit
6. Why are the lights in a “criss cross” position when rigging?

Explanation

The correct answer is that light rays travel in a straight line.

This arrangement helps to minimize shadows and create a more visually appealing and evenly lit environment.

A proscenium stage is a type of stage that is placed in a rectangular room with the audience on one side and the stage on the other, separated by an arch. This type of stage is commonly used in traditional theater settings and allows for a clear separation between the performers and the audience. It provides a framed view of the performance and allows for elaborate set designs and backdrops to be used.

Submit
9. Another name for house left is

Explanation

Stage right is the correct answer because in theater, when facing the audience, the left side of the stage is referred to as stage right. This terminology is used to provide consistent directions and references for actors and stage crew members.

Therefore, "stage right" is another name for "house left" as it refers to the same location on the stage.

Submit
10. This lantern is simply a shell holding a Par lamp, a sealed bulb with a fixed beam angle that produces a powerful narrow beam. Which lantern does this BEST describe?

Explanation

This question is asking for the lantern that is described as simply a shell holding a Par lamp, which is a sealed bulb with a fixed beam angle that produces a powerful narrow beam. The best lantern that fits this description is a parcan. A parcan is specifically designed to hold Par lamps and is known for producing a focused and narrow beam of light.

Submit
11. Where is the BEST position for placing the band for the musical production to be held at the Little Theatre?

Explanation

The best position for placing the band for the musical production at the Little Theatre is in the pit/apron. This is because the pit/apron is a designated area in front of the stage where musicians typically sit during performances. Placing the band in this location allows them to be close to the action and have a clear line of sight to the performers. Additionally, being in the pit/apron ensures that the band's music will be well-balanced and integrated with the rest of the production.

Submit
12. Production deals with the art of conceptualizing and executing an event for the pleasure of an audience. Which of the following words BEST substitutes conceptualizing in this context?

Explanation

In the context of production, conceptualizing refers to the process of generating ideas and plans for an event. The word that best substitutes conceptualizing in this context is "designing." Designing involves creating a visual or conceptual plan for an event, which aligns with the idea of conceptualizing in the context of production.

Submit
13. Which of the following is NOT considered to be a spot light?

Explanation

A parcan is not considered to be a spot light because it is a type of floodlight that produces a wide, even beam of light rather than a focused spot. Spot lights, on the other hand, are designed to produce a concentrated beam of light that can be directed to a specific area or object. The other options listed (profile spot, strobe, and fresnel) are all types of spot lights commonly used in stage lighting.

Submit

Explanation

By coordinating all departments, the administrative department helps to streamline operations and improve overall organizational performance.

Submit

Explanation

If the artist complains about the absence of a mirror in the changing room, as a stage manager, the appropriate action would be to identify a mirror and report the matter to the director.

Explanation

Blocking is the term used when positioning actors before rehearsal using a miniature stage. This process helps the director and actors plan and choreograph their movements on stage, ensuring that everyone knows where they need to be and when.

This allows for a smoother and more efficient rehearsal process.

Explanation

A strobe light is best suited for creating the effect of a prison cell because it can create a flickering, flashing effect that resembles the harsh lighting commonly found in prison cells. The rapid on-off cycle of the strobe light can create a disorienting and oppressive atmosphere, enhancing the feeling of being confined in a small space. The other options (gobo, fresnel, and baby spot) are types of lighting fixtures that may not be able to produce the same intense and unsettling effect as a strobe light.

Submit
27. During the production, it was discovered that one of the main acts was absent and a decision was to be made for a replacement with a bigger act, whose call is it?

The house lights are located in front of the stage. This is because the house lights are typically positioned in the audience area of the theater or auditorium, facing towards the stage.

Submit
30. In the staging of a production and mounting the lighting equipment where would the cyclorama be located?  

Explanation

The cyclorama is a large, curved backdrop used in theater productions to create a seamless background. It is typically located above the front of the stage. This placement allows the cyclorama to be easily seen by the audience and provides a clear and unobstructed view of the backdrop. Placing it at the back of the stage or near the fly tower would not achieve the desired effect, as it would be difficult for the audience to see. Similarly, placing it under the trap door would not make sense, as the trap door is typically used for other purposes such as entrances and exits.

Explanation

Site inspectors need to gather information about transportation facilities in the area to assess their accessibility and convenience. This includes providing road/route maps for commuters, ensuring the availability of a shuttle bus for transportation, and offering free parking at the facility. However, the provision of a private route for patrons is not necessary for site inspectors as it is specific to a certain group of individuals and does not contribute to the overall assessment of transportation facilities in the area.

Explanation

The three main functions of stage lighting are to make the actors clearly visible, to give actors and action a dramatic appearance, and to compliment and highlight the sets and costumes.

Sub masters are programmed to control a single channel or a group of channels. They allow the lighting designer to have individual control over specific dimmers or groups of dimmers.

43. You are mandated to design the set fro a musical production called " Outameni". Identify the most appropriate course of actions

Explanation

The most appropriate course of action for designing the set for the musical production "Outameni" is to first read the play. This will provide a thorough understanding of the storyline, characters, and themes. Then, it is important to discuss with the director to align their vision and expectations for the set design. Finally, conducting a site visit will allow the designer to assess the physical space and incorporate its unique features into the set design. By combining all three actions, the designer can create a set that effectively enhances the production.

Submit
44. The main purpose of general lighting on stage is to:

Explanation

General lighting on stage is used to enhance the overall visual experience of the performance by adding color to the scene.
