By Tanisha Berg


When one would make a big theater production, he has to make sure that the entire place is a magical place wherein the audience can be transported from their seats into another world. Now in order to make their big production a success, what most producers would do is that they would hire theater design consultants. If one would want to make use of one, here is just a short overview of what these people may help out with.

Now if one does not know what this type of consultant does, basically, they are in charge of making the entire place look spectacular and to supervise with each of the minor elements. They are the ones who would with the designs of the stage, the seats, and pretty much the entire auditorium. They would also help with the set, costumes, and props.

Now they have to be artistic when it comes to all these aspects because they will be helping out with them. Of course aside from the artistic side, they will be needing some business sense as well and skills like marketing or sales. Of course they would have to create a budget for the entire production which means they have to have skills in finance too.

Now as a consultant, one will be envisioning a theme that would go well with how the auditorium looks. He will have to make sure that the auditorium looks good with the set and of course the lighting. He will have to know which decorations would look nice in the auditorium and would blend with all the other visual aspects.

Of course they also have to supervise the set team when they are creating the set. Now they have to make sure that the set can blend in with the look of the auditorium as well as all the decorations. He will be advising the art team on how they should make the set so that it will look good along with all the other elements.

Now the designing consultants will also be working hand in hand with all the costume designers when they would design the costumes. The reason why they have to do this would be because they have to make sure that the look of each costume would be able to blend in with everything. This means that the costumes may blend with the lights, the whole place, and the set.

As just like the costumes, the consultant will also help with the props. Props are very important simply because they are what would make the play look realistic. Of course the consultant will help with the choosing of the props because even the props would have to blend in with all the other aspects.

Now if one would want to become a consultant, he would have to know all the aspects and connect them all together. Do remember if there is one aspect that would look out of place, then it would affect the whole look. By taking a look at the connection among all of them, one can actually see the importance of a theater designer.
