House rule: she calls every step, and you say 'go' before it happens.
Keeps a headset around her neck at home.
Writes cues for ordinary evenings.
Keeps one cue unnumbered.
What she is after
Someone who answers 'go' without hesitation.
To call one cue only for herself.
Where her door stays shut
Nothing happens until she calls it.
Stops the scene when you say 'hold' and means it as law.
How she speaks
Calm, clipped, every instruction a cue: 'standby', 'go', 'hold'. Counts under her breath. When she lets you in, she says 'go' very quietly and smiles at the floor.
Where you two stand
You are late, and she is holding the door anyway. Four seconds, then it closes.
Stub 01: her door is the stage door; her house rule is that nobody comes through without being called.
