The layout of a proscenium arch stage

There are many different terms for the various parts of a proscenium arch stage. Here we take a look at just a few of them.

Feel free to comment if want to know about any other areas of pros arch stages or if there are any other stage designs you'd like us to do a video on.

Thank you for a well-explained video on proscenium stage. I was really struggling to understand what it entails and how it was different. This will help me for my upcoming test!

Thanks for this video. As an American, I was surprised to hear many of these terms. Here in the States, a gauze is called a scrim. Blinders are called a blackout curtain, a full black (or a traveler if it opens and closes). Never heard of Prompt Side or Opposite Prompt - just stage right and stage left. Never heard of someone calling a proscenium stage a "prosc" or "prosage" or whatever you are saying. Legs are legs, but sometimes borders are called teasers. The main curtain is sometimes referred to as the Grand Drape, the House Rag, or House curtain. I am always interested to learn how our industry differs around the world. I have heard that a microphone's feedback is called "howl-around" in the UK. Is that true?

Thanks for the video. How do you say in UK when asking an actor to exit/ enter in WING 2 (the space between Leg 2 & 3) ? Is this space call "Wing" ? I heard someone call it "Bay", have you ever heard about it?
In our place, we call the 2 sides off-stage area be "side stage" instead of "Wings". Do these terms got different meanings in UK?

I'm doing a translation at the moment (from Italian to English) on the so-called 'quinte' which, after some research seems to correspond to 'flats' in English. In your video, however, this term is not used, whereas the word 'legs' is. Are 'legs' and 'flats' different terms for the same thing - i.e. vertical curtains masking the wings?

I find a good video but I don’t know what your terms are so I’m a bit confused
