The front of the stage is the portion closest to the audience.
Usually The front part of the stage is called the downstage! I think the questions refers to the part of a stage in front of the curtain.. referred to as the "apron". Hope this helps

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.
I think you mean the "footlights".
Just imagine the stage as if it was tipping forward. Upstage is at the back of the stage, and downstage is at the front of the stage.
The front of the stage is known as the apron.
Front stage is where the audience can see you, backstage is behind the black curtain, out of sight of audience.

Because the front part of the stage, the proscenium, would 'thrust' out from the stage proper and into the audience space.
