What is the protocol for a light and/or sound board operator when the stage manager happens to miss a call that you know should be there? If you have run the same show over and over again, you start to memorize where all the cues are. If the stage manager misses a call that you know should be there, do you push "GO" anyway or wait for the stage manager to make the call?
If you take the call on your own, you keep the show running correctly, but at the same time you are not respecting the stage manager's superiority. If you know the call was missed and decide to wait until the SM catches it, then the show is off cue and it could confuse the performers.
What is the right thing to do?
