When starting work on a project, directors and actors will commonly work from a ground plan, which is a theatre stage diagram onto which will be mapped the elements of a particular theatre set. Ground plans help everyone involved keep track of where set pieces and props need to be at any given time.
The parts of a stage that are visible to an audience are generally called the ”proscenium,” though this term is more broadly applicable in box set theatres. If audience members can see an actor, a prop, or a set piece, for instance, then those people and objects are located in the proscenium.
This area is called the apron. The pit is traditionally used by the orchestra in pieces where actors are accompanied by live music. The pit, also called the orchestra pit, is located directly in front of the stage, between the apron and the first row of seats, and is usually lower than floor level to hide the orchestra.
