    Lighting and sound are important elements in theater that help tell the story. Proper lighting uses techniques like spotlights, floodlights, and backlights to focus attention on actors or parts of the stage. Sound equipment includes speakers, microphones, and amplifiers to project voices and background noise. Detailed lighting and sound plots are prepared with cue sheets to coordinate these elements with the performance through equipment like dimmers, gels, and intercom systems. Careful planning and operation of lighting and sound allows them to effectively enhance a production.
