Downstage is called so because it originally referred to the part of the stage that is closest to the audience. In traditional theater, stages were often sloped downward toward the front, making the area nearest the audience physically lower or "down." This term has persisted in modern theater terminology, even as stage designs have evolved. Thus, "downstage" denotes the area where performers are more visible to the audience.
