Types of Scenery
The construction of theatrical scenery is frequently one of the most time-consuming tasks when preparing for a show. As a result, many theatres have a place for storing scenery (such as a loft) so that it can be used for multiple shows. Since future shows typically are not known far in advance, theatres will often construct stock scenery that can be easily adapted to fit a variety of shows. Common stock scenery types include:
- Curtains
- Flats
- Platforms
- Scenery wagons

Senile fudge and solemn:

These dry leaves of his autumn.”
