Carpenter (theatre)

So imagine you are playing with some wooden blocks, trying to build a tower. But sometimes the blocks don't fit exactly right, and you need to make them fit better. That's where a carpenter comes in!

In a theatre, a carpenter is someone who works with wood to build and fix things like sets, platforms, and props. They use tools like hammers, saws, and drills to cut and shape the wood so it fits together just right.

For example, if the play takes place in a forest, the carpenters might need to build lots of big trees on the stage. They'll start by measuring how tall and wide the trees need to be. Then they'll use a saw to cut the wood to the right size, and a drill to put screws in so the pieces of wood stay together. They might even paint the trees to make them look more realistic!

The carpenters in a theatre have a really important job, because without them, there wouldn't be any sets to help tell the story. So if you ever go to a play and see a really cool set or prop, remember to thank the carpenters who made it all possible!
