prompter
Offstage memory aid
A prompter is someone who prompts—specifically, a person positioned offstage who feeds forgotten lines to actors during a performance.
The role extends to anyone who supplies cues or reminders: The teleprompter replaced the human prompter for news broadcasts.
In theater, the prompter follows the script and whispers or signals when performers falter.
