HOW TO READ THIS — one thing per box
D2
The CALL. Kay calls cue numbers, never times. Find your boxes and listen for them.
HEADER
Where am I? Every black header says: after which song → setting which song.
SIDES ARE ALWAYS AS THE AUDIENCE SEES THEM — theatre jargon: “STAGE RIGHT” = our LEFT · “STAGE LEFT” = our RIGHT · TAB 1 downstage · TAB 2 mid · TAB 3 upstage
ENTER from the LEFT wing — the piano + violin side (jargon: stage right)
ENTER from the RIGHT wing — Kay’s side (jargon: stage left)
EXIT into the LEFT wing
EXIT into the RIGHT wing
THE SCRIM
SCRIM IN (full) — the hanging mics fly UP out of its way
SCRIM OUT — the hanging mics come back DOWN. One AX cue does both.
SCRIM ⅓ — happens ONCE all night, mid-Moonlight. Nowhere else.
SCREENS + LIGHTS
FILM or CARD — always plays ON the scrim, and the sound is inside the film. No separate voice-over.
CYC TITLES — song titles on the back wall; they fade out after each song's intro.
SNAP — an instant light cut, no fade.
PEOPLE
STAND and SIT are called cues — nobody stands or sits on their own.
Names are colour-coded: YOUTH CHOIR ORCH PROD.
Walkers go ROUND the orchestra — down the side lanes, never through the players.
Maps are TO SCALE — one square = 1 metre; the stage is 14 m × 10 m.
Calls are cue numbers — find your boxes and listen for them. The grey line under each box tells you WHERE in the show it happens (which song it follows). Diagrams show your path, audience view, TO SCALE.
