Who typically participates in a curtain call?

• A. The audience
• B. The lighting team
• C. The cast
• D. The stage manager

Answer: (C)

Curtain calls are the final bow where performers acknowledge the audience’s applause. The people who typically participate are the cast—the actors who performed on stage—coming back out to bow together or in small groups. The audience stays in the seats and claps, but doesn’t join on stage. Behind-the-scenes crew like the lighting team or stage manager do essential work, but they aren’t the ones who take the curtain call as performers. So, the cast is the usual group taking part in a curtain call.
