Theater notes






Musical vs straight play

Musical Review: less of a story line
Operetta: all singing, hardly any dialogs

Monologue vs dialogue

Monologue: one person
Dialogue: two people

Projection: stage voice
Diction / articulation: clear pronunciation

Proscenium stage/ thrust stage:

down stage: toward audience
Up stage: back


Blocking: movement
Script

Lines- cue line
Adlib improvising lines

When you forget your line in rehearsal say " line"
