17 A parcan, because a birdie is one under par. Go back < 18 The vertical curtains which frame the stage at the left and right. < 19 The centre line. < 20 The setting line. < 21 A three-way adaptor. Grelly comes from GRELCO a brand name for a 2 way 5A or 15A electrical splitter. < 22 A stage which slopes down to the front to improve the audience's view, like the Theatre Royal in Lincoln. Nowadays the auditorium is raked like Blackfriars, Boston. < 23 On stage lights. They are the metal flaps in front of the lantern which stop light going where it shouldn't. < 24 Near the stage, often behind or at the side of it. < 25 The stage itself used to be called "The Green". < 26 During rehearsals. It means giving the moves to be made by the actors. It is written down in the prompt script by the ASM and gets to Amateur Actors as a French's Acting Edition. < 27 Because backstage staff were originally sailors (who were familiar with ropes and pulleys) and they got instructions by being whistled to. If you whistled at the wrong time, you got scenery dropped on your head. < 28 Backstage technicians or the prompt. They are headphones but have a microphone too. < 29 You're right if you said your right. The prompt corner is traditionally on the stage left side of the stage so OP (opposite prompt) is on your right. < 30 An entrance to the acting area through banked seating as in The Round at The Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough. < 31 The trap doors in a stage, though the carpet one is usually called a carpet "cut". Did you know that the stage of The Phantom of the Opera has 136 trapdoors? < 32 When using greasepaint stage makeup. Number 5 and number 9 sticks were mixed together on your hand to make your base (foundation) makeup. Lit K (Litera = letter, K) came as 5 and 9 in a tube (like toothpaste) to save time. < Go back to the 16 questions in Quiz One? |
