Even before the advent of electricity, light became an integral part of the play when theatre moved indoors. No technique since the beginning of the theatre has added so much of expressiveness to stage-craft than Lights. Thoughts, inner tensions etc. can be easily accentuated with creative lighting. The light must focus attention on the characters rather than on the set, except, perhaps in the beginning of the play. Also, different acting areas must be intensified or toned down in relation to their importance at a given time or specific situation.

Costume Designing is one of the most important departments of theatre production. Along with the script, setting, actors and music, the clothing and various costumes worn in a play have a very important role to fulfill. They can make the characters interesting and believable, sad or funny, good or evil, and they can greatly influence-sometimes at a subconscious level-how the audience sees the characters that wear them. They reflect the time and place in which the character lives, his social standing, his present circumstances and his emotional state.
