Stage direction refers to the areas on a stage (anyone in technical theatre should be aware of this concept.)

The area of a stage that is closest to the audience (house) is downstage. The area furthest from the audience (the back of the stage) is called upstage.

To someone new to the concept of stage direction, it can be confusing because from the view of the audience, how we would normally perceive direction is switched.

Examples of using stage direction in commands/questions would be:

1. "All actors move center stage during the next scene."

2. "Why was this lamp placed upstage right?"

3. "Make sure you fix the third chair, downstage left."
