Theatrical Logic
In is down, down is front;
Out is up, up is back;
Off is out, on is in;
And of course -
Left is right, and right is left.

A drop shouldn't and
A Block and fall does neither.
A prop doesn't and
A cove has no water.

Tripping is OKAY;
A running crew rarely gets anywhere;
A purchase line buys you nothing;
A trap will not catch anything and
A gridiron has nothing to do with football.

Strike is work (In fact, a lot of work)
And a green room, thank God, usually isn't.
Now that you're fully versed in Theatrical Terms,
"Break a leg..."

But not really!


Sound guys count to two,
Musicians count to four,
Dancers count to eight, but always start at five.
