==Location== Historically, the prompt corner was situated at stage left. ''Prompt side'' (abbreviated to PS) and ''opposite prompt'' (abbreviated to OP, sometimes called ''off prompt'') are widely used terms for stage left and stage right.<ref name=ken>{{cite book |editor-first=Dennis |editor-last=Kennedy |year=2010 |title=The Oxford Companion to Theatre and Performance |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |ISBN=978-0-19-957419-3}}</ref> However some theatres choose to install prompt corner in a discreet area of the auditorium. Certain theatres which locate their prompt corner on stage right would inform cast and crew that they were operating on a bastard prompt system.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.theatrecrafts.com/pages/home/topics/stage-management/theatre-building/ |title=Glossary of Technical Theatre Terms β The Theatre Building β Theatrecrafts.com|accessdate=July 29, 2019}}</ref> In [[Opera house|opera houses]], the prompt box is traditionally located [[downstage]] centre; see [[prompter (opera)]].
