Theatre Terms

In is downdown is front 

Out is upup is back 
Off is outon is in
And of course, 
Right is leftleft is right
drop shouldn't and a 
Block and fall does neither. 
prop doesn't and 
A cove has no 
water
Tripping 
is OK. 
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 God, usually isn't. 
Now that you're fully versed in theatrical terms, 
Break a leg-but not really!
