THEATRE TERMS AND WHAT THEY MEAN!


In is down, down is front
out is up, up is back
off is out, on is in.
And of course,
right is left, left is right.
A drop shouldn't and a
block and fall does neither.
A prop doesn't and
a cove has no water.
Tripping is OK.
A running crew rarely gets anywhere.
A purchase line will buy you nothing.
A trap will not catch anything.
A gridiron has nothing to do with football.
Strike is work (in fact, lots of work),
and a green room, thank goodness, usually isn't.
Now that you're fully versed in theatrical terms,

Break a leg .. but not really!
