Opening night
The Theatre is crowded and dark at the same time. Actors wait in the wings, the stage manager runs the show from the side, and the prop room holds everything from swords to teacups. Out front, the foyer and the box office deal with the audience, while the balcony looks down on all of it. Under the stage, the cellar holds old scenery that nobody has moved in years.
Everyone in a theatre has a cue and a place to be. A missed cue is a clue in itself.
How it plays
Two places are things you stand on: people are "on the Stage" and "on the Balcony". The stage is usually wide, a long room across the board, so a row clue paired with a room clue often pins someone there. The wings run along its sides and are narrow. The dressing room and the box office are small and decide a lot once a person is placed in them.
Look for people who are said to be alone in a room. In a busy theatre, being alone is rare, and it rules out many squares.
