So my university is performing "A Midsummer Night's Dream" next week, and I had a random thought spurred on by other hypothetical situations (as picked from different threads on CB). But I was just wondering, since this show ends with the character of Puck/Robin giving an epilogue/apology/blessing to the audience, why would you do a curtain call. In my mind, it would make more sense artistically to do without a curtain call, so that the audience can leave with these words in their heads.
So hypothetically speaking, is there any legally binding legislature in the Canadian Theatre Agreement, or whatever your AHJ on Equity is that states that there must be a curtain call? I can see why the actors would like the personal recognition (and tradition), but is it required.
