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....

Beautifully put, Paul. There's nothing more cringe-worthy to be in an audience when an actor is fishing for more applause.
Well, I lie- there is. To be onstage with that actor at the time of the aforementioned curtain call is probably worse...
El (who will be bowing and scraping at the end of "Ros & Guil" before bowing out entirely)
