How do actors see where they are going when the stage lights go out?

Question

Like when the scene ends with a black out and the actor has to leave the stage.

Answer

I was lucky enough to be a theatre actor for a number of years, and in all honesty, we couldn't see! I guess we just knew the stage so well that we didn't walk into anything :)
