What definition best describes the term downstage?
Downstage is the front of the stage, the part nearest the audience. The best way to remember this is to remember that back in the day, stages used to be raked or slanted toward the front, which gave audience members whose heads were at the level of the front of the stage a better view of what was going on further upstage. At that time upstage was literally higher than downstage. The expression "to upstage someone" means to take their limelight, to push yourself into something where they are supposed to more important. This comes from actors coming between another actor and the audience thus blocking out the upstage actor.

Why is an upstage position called up?
An upstage position is called an upstage position because from the audiences position it is in the back of the stage so it is up from them. <><><> It comes from old theater layouts where the stage was raked or tilted toward the audience, so if an actor went away from the audience, it was moving up and toward the audience was moving down.
Why are stage directions Upstage and Downstage when the stage is flat?
In historic times, the back of the stage was raised so that people sould be seen more readily. And since the back of the stage was raised, it became know as upstage. Since the front of the stage was lower than the back it became known as downstage. This can be seen in historical theaters such as the Globe theater.
