What does the deck crew do?

Answer 1

Actually, it's very common to call the stage crew the "deck crew". Very many terms from sailing are in the theater, certainly it was common to hire sailors to fly the scenery or a drop much like they'd fly a sail on a sail boat.

Normally, the stage crew is everyone .... the deck guys, the fly guys, the prop guys, the squints, squeaks and chippers....

The "deck" is simply the stage area, so these guys push the wagons on and off, sweep and mop the stage.

Deckhands and/or stagehands make the show run!

In fact, there is a poem about stagehands! Here is the first verse, it's very old....

The Song of the Stagehands (first verse)

We work in the wings at various things
That nobody sees from the stalls:
You don't think of us unless there's a fuss
And bits of the scenery falls.
but what would be seen of the old Fairy Queen
If the Palace came down on her head?
The actors may bark: but if they're in the dark
It don't matter what Shakespeare said.
It's the same thing wherever you go:
The bloke in the front gets the show.
But where would he be if it wasn't for we -
Working away in the wings?
