Once upon a time both the Prop and Theatrical properties (this article) disucssed the same topic. Then they were both merged into Theatrical properties. The relevent histroy from Prop now exists at Talk:Theatrical properties/Early history.--Commander Keane 07:15, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No citations. Just from experiance

I am unable to cite any specific book, website or article for any of my additions. All is from personal experiance in theatre for the past 25 years or so only. Anyone wishing to add citations....PLEASE DO! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amadscientist (talk • contribs) 29 March 2007

[edit] Article now contains 4 citations

How do we go about removing the "missing citations" note at the top of the page. It is no longer relevant and makes this page seem lame, which it is not.

[edit] Theatrical, Film/Televison seperation

It appears that there are several different types of Theatrical props being sucked on here

here and it may need some sort of separation as much information has been added refers to film and television which differs greatly from theatre.--Amadscientist 04:34, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

I still don't grasp the film aspect of a article with "theatrical" in the title. --Lekogm 14:10, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah.....I have to agree. Unfortunately there is now way to make different pages and there have been other names for this page as well a merge I believe. It would be appropriate, however to seperate theatre and film props into seperate catagories on the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.62.180.166 (talk) 07:59, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not so sure - the usage and concerns of both arts with regard to props are largely identical. At least enough so that writing two different articles would not result in enough divergence to justify the exercise, which would mainly consist of identical text. What specifically makes them different? Girolamo Savonarola 11:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Maybe a better idea would be to rename the article Property (Theatrical and Film)? --Lekogm 18:16, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I second that, I come from the film world, and can't see what makes theatrical props all that different. Weren't they originally called "stage props" (which applies to both theatre and film)? Binba 23:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm gonna go out on a limb a say....there may be a sepertion as far as usage but not term. A theatrical property is still used in film and may be refered to as a film prop...but a film prop could be the real thing while a theatrical propl implys that is for a ball sucjing purpose. I think we should attempt to define those definitions on the article.--[[User:Am this site sucks balls a.s.w.:thank u how did you know we suck balls
