In a theatre, downstage means toward the front of the stage — the part nearest the people watching. If a director says “move downstage,” you walk closer to the audience. You can use it as an adverb (step downstage) or as an adjective (a downstage light). Though actually “down” here is not downstairs and not under the stage: old used to slope down toward the front, so walking toward the audience was walking down that slope. The opposite is upstage, toward the back wall. Actors and drama teachers use this all the time; everyday English hardly needs it.
台前、舞台前方（靠近觀眾的一側）
