Prompt book

A prompt book is like a map that helps people put on a play.

When grown-up people want to put on a play, they need to have a list of everything that's going to happen in the play, like what the actors will say, where they will go and what they'll do.

A prompt book is like a special notebook that has all these things written down. The person who makes the prompt book will write out all the words the actors need to say, what they need to do in each scene and when they need to go on and off the stage.

The prompt book also has important things like the stage directions, which tell people where to put the props, what sounds and lights to use and when to change the scene.

The person who makes the prompt book will have to make sure it is very clear and easy to use so that everyone who is helping with the play can understand it. They'll also need to practice using it a lot so that they can help the actors and make sure the play goes smoothly.

So the prompt book is like a special guide that helps grown-up people put on a really great play!
