What is "stage left"?
Stage left refers to the area of the stage that is to the actor's left side when they are facing the audience. This direction is used by actors, directors, and crew to communicate where someone should move or where something is located on stage. Like all stage directions, it is based on the actor's viewpoint, not the audience's.
