A GLOSSARY OF THEATRE TERMS

(W-Z)

Wardrobe Master	(More usually Wardrobe Mistress) Responsible for the making (under the direction of the Designer), repair and washing of all costumes.
Way	Another word for "channel" (qv).
Wings	The sides of the stage, out of sight of the audience, where actors stand before making their entrance, and where props are kept, ready to be brought onto the stage.
XLR	A type of connector for sound equipment. The best microphones use these rather than jacks. Now becoming more common on all kinds of sound equipment. Mics which require phantom powering (qv) must have XLR connectors: one terminal carries the signal, one is a shield, and the third carries the phantom power current.
