Front stage is where the audience can see you, backstage is behind the black curtain, out of sight of audience.
An arena stage is a theater stage surrounded or nearly surrounded by the audience and a thrust stage is a a stage that projects beyond the proscenium so that the audience sits around the projection.One side of the arena stage does not have the audience and on the trust stage every side of it is covered.
Stage left and stage right are intructions when acting. Stage right is the actors' right, facing the audience, and stage left is the actors' left, facing the audience.
A proscenium stage is where the actor faces the whole audience on the front (downstage) of the stage. A thrust stage is where the actor is surrounded on 3 sides by the audience. Think of a proscenium stage as the people coming to the front to see the actor whereas the thrust stage is where the stage comes out into the audience.
The front of the stage is the portion closest to the audience.
