What are the functions of the different colored filters in stage lighting?

Asked by Dog (25152points) April 28th, 2010

While at a performance I looked up and saw that the lights seemed to have different colored filters.

What is the benefit of each and when are they used?

It is to enhance an illusion?

I noticed most were in use at one time or another during the play- which was perceived to me to be “normal” lighting. (No special effects- just dialoguing people in different sets.)
