Kabuki	The popular theatre of Japan -- as opposed to the more formal and aristocratic noh play. The name derives from ka -- singing; bu -- dancing; and ki -- acting.
Kitchen-Sink Drama	Term coined in 1950's British theatre to refer to plays in which the characters were less affluent than those of conventional drama -- spending their time going about domestic tasks such as washing and ironing.
Komos	See, also, Comos. Ancient Greek term meaning "revel". A komos ode,or "revel song", was the term applied to early Greek comedy, from which we derive the word itself.
Kothornoi	In addition to the masks worn by the actors in Greek tragedy, high-soled boots called kothornoi were employed to give them added height. An alternate spelling is cothurnus. The equivalent soft heelless shoe worn in Greek comedy was known as the soccus -- or sock in the Elizabethan theatre. The high-soled boot was referred to as a buskin in Elizabethan theatre -- from which derives the term "busker" for an itinerant street-actor.
