The Prompt Book holds all the information about the performance. It contains the script with all the blocking and cues. The Stage Manager keeps "The Book" and uses it to call the show. The Prompt Book also contains contact information, lists of props, rehearsal notes, everything. A production can be recreated from the information in the Prompt Book.
