proscenium (pro-SEE-nee-uhm) noun
The part of the stage that is in front of the curtain. [From Latin proscenium, from Green proskenion, from pro- (before) + skene (scene).] "A certain elegant artificiality borders this novel (Gertrude and Claudius) like the proscenium of a stage. Updike has laced his own Shakespearean aphorisms through the narrative." Ron Charles, To Be or Not to Be a Good Parent, That is the Question, Christian Science Monitor (Boston), Feb 3, 2000. This week's theme: words from theater. Note: You can listen to yours truly on KPBS 89.5 FM San Diego on Sunday, March 3, 2002.
