The
prompt book, also called
transcript,
the bible or sometimes simply "the book," is the copy of a production
script that contains the information necessary to create a theatrical production from the ground up. It is a compilation of all
blocking, business, light, speech and sound
cues, lists of
properties, drawings of the set, contact information for the
cast and
crew, and any other relevant information that might be necessary to help the production run smoothly and nicely.
