Introduction?

the beginning :)

Act 1, Scene 1?

Scenario?

i was thinking prologue, but that comes at the beggining of a book... but that might be it. anyone think of anything else?

bibliography - nothing to do with what your asking but sounds smart :P

isnt that an introduction ?

Is it either a epilogue or a prelude? <_<

preface
prelude
exordium?
