Trivia Time - A Theatre Ode

Theatrical Logic

In is down, down is front,

out is up, up is back,

off is out, on is in,

and of course -

right is left, and 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 O.K.

A 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.


A Strike is work

(in fact a lot of work).

And a green room, thank God, usually isn't.

Now that you are fully versed in theatrical terms,

Break a leg...

but not really!
