Props Master and Props Designer

The most common means of organizing props is the use one or several props tables.  A props table is simply a large table in the wings where props are laid out for use. Usually the table is covered with heavy paper which is divided into sections for each prop, appropriately labeled. The props are often outlined to make their proper place obvious. It is then quite simple to look over the table to see if anything is missing. Atlanta Props designed this grocery set for a Perdue chicken television commercial.
