It is the timeline for everything and it’s vital the Show Caller ensures that all techs follow it precisely. Even with a thorough and detailed run sheet, the show or event still needs someone to direct the many actors, performers or players involved. A talented Show Caller can walk into an event without any information given beforehand, be briefed, and then produce the program. The Show Caller leads multiple technical staff on coms. All technical staff wears these coms or headsets in order to hear the Show Caller’s direction. The Show Caller has the final word on all show-related decisions. This creates seamless transitions and timely cues throughout the program or event. To be clear, all elements of the event need to work together for a coherent successful event.
