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 OK
  • A running crew rarely gets anywhere
  • A purchase line buys you nothing
  • A trap will not catch anything
  • 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.
