summary

The purpose of this study is to understand the role of rehearsal rooms and stages in creation of a stage drama. For this study, we investigated the entire creation of the play, from the first rehearsal to the public performance. In fact, the actors and staff spent most of their time in the rehearsal room until the play was completed. Therefore, the rehearsal room has to be the same size as the stage and backstage areas to provide the same width and height, as well as all essential facilities. Furthermore, it is also important to plan the rehearsal room comfortable, because sometimes actors and staff may use it to take breaks.
