In is down, down is front,
Out is up, up is back,
off is out, on is in,
and fo course-- right is left and left is right.
A drop shouldn't and
Block and fall does neither.
A prop doesn't and
a cove has no water.
Tripping is OK
a run crew rarely gets anywhere.
A purchase line buys you nothing
a trap will not catch anything
gridiron ahs 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.
