Theatah Jargon

Hello all,
In order to get you in the mood for some theatrics, i thought it would be fun to share with you the theater dictionary I am building as I navigate my way through rehearsals.

Upstage: the back

Downstage: the front (brownie points for those of you that can tell me where those names come from without googling!)

Fourth wall: the audience

Drag through: run through of a scene or act

Principal: a nice way of saying a lead role

Blocking: choreographing or setting places for scenes

Straight tone: singing without vibrato

Vibrato: that funny vibration noise you hear from good singers (i don't sing with vibrato :)
