What is a "prompt"?
A prompt is a word or phrase spoken by an actor to signal another actor to start their dialogue or action. It serves as a cue for the other actor to remember their part and continue the performance seamlessly. Prompts are used to maintain the flow of the performance and prevent interruptions due to forgotten lines or missed cues.
