Call
There are two meanings of call:
-
During a show or rehearsal a "call" is an announcement issued through
a communication system. Examples are :
- to "call" a member of the cast to the stage prior (hopefully) to an entrance
- a message to a crew member to do something such as when the flyman is to drop in a piece of scenery
- a "call" from the FOH Manager to the Deputy Stage Manager giving clearance to start a performance
-
A "call" is also the summons to a rehearsal or session. For instance, a
dress rehearsal is a usually full company call, a technical rehearsal would
be a crew call. A band call is a "call" for the band members.
