Front of House
Everything on the audience's side of the stage—the foyer, box office, auditorium, bars, cloakroom, and public areas. "Front of house" (FOH) also refers to the staff who manage these areas: ushers, box office attendants, bar staff, and the house manager. FOH operations ensure the audience has a smooth experience from arrival through departure. In lighting, "FOH" refers to lighting positions located in the auditorium rather than on stage.
