Theatre Terms

HOW TO SEARCH:

  • Enter a word in the "Search Terms and Definitions" box.
  • For example, entering the word "curtain" would display all terms whose definition includes that particular word.
  • When in doubt, use the simplest version of the term--for example, search for "prop" instead of "props" or "properties," and "Fade" instead of "Cross-Fade."

Are we missing a term? If so, email our Webmaster and provide the missing term, so we can add it to our list.
