What is a "curtain call"?

A curtain call is the moment at the end of a theatrical performance when the actors come back on stage to receive applause from the audience. After the final scene, the curtain rises or the lights come up, and the cast members acknowledge the audience's appreciation by bowing or performing a final gesture. This tradition allows the performers to receive recognition for their work and gives the audience a chance to express their gratitude and enjoyment of the show.
