callboard
Backstage announcement board
A callboard is a bulletin board in a theater where schedules, cast lists, rehearsal times, and other notices are posted for performers and crew.
It serves as the central communication hub backstage: Check the callboard for tomorrow's call time.
The term extends to similar notice boards in other performance contexts.
