Theatrical properties, or props, are items used in stage plays and similar entertainments to further the action. They can consist of something as simple as the traditional slapstick to fantastic apparatuses designed to simluate flying, windstorms, fog, or floods. Most are somewhere in between and consist of chairs and other furnishings which may be very simple or quite elaborate. They are generally under the control of the prop master.
The term has readily tranferred to television and motion picture production.
