      Thank you fellow theater kid. I didn’t realize an accurate explanation is worth so many down votes, but there you go…

        I can’t believe my silly tongue in cheek comment got removed, wtf? Why mods? I guess they viewed it as condescending.

        They removed it for misinformation. That’s really what I thought it meant. No idea how I got it wrong. I guess this is what those Mandela effect believers feel like.

        I’ve been living a lie, what the fuck?

        Okay, not only do I have very specific memories of learning it the way I said, I also remember a joke from the TV show Smash that only works like that. They had a new girl to theatre and she didn’t understand the stage directions and went to the wrong side. But if stage left is left from the actor’s perspective, why would she have been confused? Unless they used the term house left, but I’d never heard that before now.

        Is this a common misconception or something? This is seriously throwing me for a loop lol.
