In our
theatre, we don't have a balcony, or much of anything else, except a catwalk and a booth. Our SM calls from the booth, because we have planty of space. The light board is far to the right, the sound board far to the left, and spots are on the catwalk, leaving the center open for the director and SM. We also have two ASMs who are actually in the wings, one for stage right, and one for stage left.
