Encore!
Mon, 24 June 2002, 02:48 pmThis has been argued countless times before but sod it, I'm still asking.
Who decides whether or not to have a "Curtain Call" or "Encore" as some would say?
I've had countless answers such as :
-->The conductor (usually also the MD) decides
-->The Stage Manager decides
-->The guy/gal pulling the curtains back and forth decides
-->The cast decide
: these decisions, of course, are based on how rowdy/quiet the audience has/have been.
Any more answers or arguments against the 'choices' mentioned? I can't make up my mind....

Tue, 25 June 2002, 08:32 amThere should always be a curtain call rehearsed as part of any production in anticipation of a favourable audience, even if it is not used. It would also be a boost to the cast and crews morale to rehearse an extended curtain call in antici...........pation of the highly favourable audience that could come on any night of a production.
There was no curtain call the night I went to see Singing In The Rain, but that may have been a technical restriction due to the water on the stage.
