actor stands in front of another,
blocking the view of the audience.
The "upstaged" actor will then
be closer to up stage, relative to the
ham up front. “Upstage," used as a
verb like this, is not a stage direc

theater slang and will convince
everyone that you are “in the know.”
The Wings: The dark areas to
the sides of tne stage proper where
thugs wait for you to come off

It should come from Borsheim's.
