In summer stock tradition, there is a phrase that's more common than hold, lights on, or even places. That phrase is "wrong show." Since we are working on four different shows over the course of two months and often two at a time we have a lot of songs, dances, and dialogue in our heads especially the actors. As the pianist, I just play whatever score they place in front of me. Anyway, whenever a song is mentioned, a line quoted, or dance style transferred, someone will shout wrong show. It sometimes even becomes a game to see how many times you can reference one show while rehearsing another. It might seem silly but it's how we keep all the info in our brains and have fun.
