Backstage Notes: Before the doors open

A 5-minute drill that saves a 50-minute headache.

Here’s our quick pre-show checklist:

• Scanner check: devices charged, app signed in, test QR = green.
• Signal plan: venue Wi-Fi tested, mobile hotspot on standby.
• Box office: float counted, door list printed as backup.
• Signage: entrance, toilets, merch—visible, not vibes.
• House brief: latecomer policy and emergency exits—everyone aligned.
