Q calling Where, When, Who, What & Why?

What happens in your theatre with performances? How are the Cues handled, actioned & by whom?
Does the SM carry it out or is left up to the lighting/audio operator to be responsible.
Also as an SM do you prefer doing it from backstage or in the Bio Box?
Further how do you normally go about calling the cues &/or mark up & setting up the show 'Bile', with the script on the Left or right, no particular method or an ad hoc San Fairy Anne system?
