Quick answer
What this page settles
Treat the schedule as an operating sequence, not a list of audience-facing start times. Use this page to create a stage sequence protecting entrances, sightlines, resets and attention. The working record is stage map, entrance side, prop order and clear-to-go cue; the main failure to prevent is people or props crossing before the stage is reset.
