Theatrical Logic
Stole this off of a Facebook Profile. It's old hat to me, but nice to know The Technician's Bible is still being taught in post-secondary institutions the world over:
Theatrical Logic:
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)
A a green room, thank god, usually isn't
Now that you're fully versed in Theatrical terms,
Break a leg.
But not really.
