~TERMS A THESPIAN SHOULD KNOW~
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.
Strike is work (in fact, lots of work).
And a green room, thankfully, usually isn't.
Now that you're fully versed in theatrical terms,
Break a leg - but not really!

Hahah! I love this, because it's like a code that only theatre people will be able to decipher!

Thespians never do it at home.
Thespians rehearse first, then do it.
Thespians do it in make-up.
Thespians do it in costume.
Thespians do it with props.
Thespians do it choreographed.
Thespians do it with the lights on.
Thespians do it with the curtains open.
Thespians do it in front of an audience.
Thespians do it, and then take a bow.
Thespians do it - then celebrate!
Thespians do it on the stage... Wanna watch?
