ABSTRACT

The following is an example of a call sheet for setup and show the same day. This type of schedule is typical of a touring show that sets up in six different cities a week. The number of crew members needed to maintain the schedule varies according to size of production and start time. Setup for smaller productions starts later and may also finish later. Large productions may require earlier rigging calls or extra setup days.
