Theatre Trivia Question 5

If you want to feature an actor in the place the audience will look first--in the United States--where should you direct the actor to stand?

a. Center stage
b. Downstage right
c. Upstage
d. Downstage left

The answer is B, Downstage right!

Downstage right puts the actor on the front of the stage, a place sure to bring attention, and at the audience's left. Since Americans read left to right, they are inclined to look to the left first.

Stay curious,
