A thrust stage is a stage that goes out into the auidence. Many times the auidence will surround the stage. A proscenium stage is a theatre whose primary feature is a large frame or arch. In a proscenium theatre, the auidence faces the stage directly. Also, the stage is usually raised so it can be difficult for the auidence in the front rows to see. An example of this type of stage can be found in Drayton Hall. 
2. What is the fly gallery?
The fly gallery is the area where the stage crew can quickly and quietly move curtains, lights, etc. without being seen. Sometimes they may have metal walkways above the stage to help with these tasks.
3. How does a scrim work?
Scrims are backdrops that are used in plays to quickly change the scene or setting of the play. The stage crew pulls one up and lets the other one down in the fly gallery when changing scenery. They can also be used for special effects.
