Davin Pell opens show contracts, rehearsal calls and the public pay register at the performers’ desk at Lantern Theatre. Before anyone changes a mark, the crew checks a cast change was entered on the notice board but not on the pay copy. The high summer period sets the pace of the work.

The page holds 21 rehearsal hours entered before the opening night. Davin Pell reads the preceding count, 15, before the next line is entered. A number without a date would not tell the next crew what changed.

The producer says the board was updated in time. Performers say the signed copy still carries the earlier line. Here the difference is visible between the posted rule and the route, service or shift just beyond the door.

Asecond office checks the count and records any difference in method. The Year fifth, high summer window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The theatre will compare the call sheet with the copies signed by each performer.

The shift closes with the source page attached to the board. The next file uses a new date and scope.
