Terminology: “Backstage”

Backstage encompasses the portion of a theater not seen by the audience and usually located behind or to the side of the performance space, such as the green room and the performers' dressing rooms.

Back Stage is a weekly publication featuring casting calls, production listings, theater reviews, and news and feature stories of interest to actors. It primarily covers the New York and Los Angeles metro areas. Backstage.com is the associated Web site.
