Prop DB

Theatrical Inventory Database Management

Prop: A prop, formally known as a theatrical property, is an object an actor use on stage or screen during a performance or screen production. This includes handheld items such as books, cups, weapons, and tools that actors interact with during a performance. Props help to create a realistic setting, convey information, or add to the storytelling by showing details about the characters or the environment.
DB: DB is an abbreviation for 'database.' A computerized store of data that can be searched and organized. A database adds order to the data and makes data retrieval easy. 
PropDB: The best solution for storing prop data for your theatrical company.
