Theatrical logic?
Sun, 9 Dec 2001, 03:53 pmIn is down, down is front
Out is up, up is back
Off is out, on is in
And of course
Right is left, and left right
A drop shouldn't
And a block and fall does neither
A prop doesn't
And a cove has no water
Tripping is ok
A running crew rarely gets anywhere
A purchase line will buy you nothing
A trap will not catch you anything
A gridiron has nothing to do with football
A strike is a lot of work
(in fact a lot of work)
And a green room thank goodness, usually isn't.
Now that you are fully versed in theatrical terms -
Break a leg. . . but not really!
Q. What is a cove?

I'm assuming you don't mean the British slang for a "chap" or "fellow", me ol' cove, but an architectural term.
A 'coved ceiling' has a concave arch or inward sloping panels, but I think in theatre language it means the recess near the ceiling where the lighting fixtures are concealed.
Are we in "covenant" ?
