Running blacks

All-black clothing worn by stagehands and other "behind-the-scene" personal in live theatre, some movie production, and live-action gaming.

Black clothing is hard for the audience to see, allowing stagehands to move scenery while attention stays focused on the actors.
"As long as you have a good set of running blacks, we'd be happy to have you help out as a stagehand for the school play."
