Theatre 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
Actors (as defined by a set designer)
- People who stand between the audience and the set designer's art, blocking the view.
- That's also the origin of the word "blocking."
