OTHER CALLS YOU NEED TO ATTEND

COSTUME FITTINGS (Actors and Dancers)

All performers are required to be measured for wardrobe purposes, and to attend scheduled FITTINGS. At these calls, the Actor or Dancer will try on their costume pieces. The pieces may be in the first stages of being built, or the final stages of alteration. These calls are scheduled by the Wardrobe Supervisor, in co-operation with the Stage Manager, and it is common for performers to have at least two fittings.

COSTUME PARADE (Actors and Dancers, Production Students)

Some productions include in their schedule a COSTUME PARADE, approximately 2 weeks prior to Opening Night. The purpose is to allow the Director, Costume Designer, Lighting and Projection Designer, Wardrobe Supervisor and Cutter a chance to see as many costumes as possible, all together, on the performer. It is usual to have this call on stage, under stage lighting conditions. It is run scene by scene, and is generally scheduled during a day-time rehearsal slot.

PHOTO CALLS (Actors, Dancers, Production Students)

It is common for the Audience Relations Department to schedule, in conjunction with the Company Manager or Stage Manager and Director, a separate call to take pictures of the production. This may be done live, during a run, and/or specific scenes may be staged, for the photographer. In the case of staged photos, the call schedule generally works backwards from the end of the show. All lighting, staging and wardrobe crew are required for this call.
