Which individuals typically cue the transitions to the next segment of a game performance?

• A. Audience volunteers
• B. Ball handler
• C. Makeup artist
• D. Choreographer or stage manager via cues.

Answer: (C)

Transitions between segments in a game performance are coordinated by the show’s leadership, typically the choreographer and the stage manager, who issue cues to performers and crew. The choreographer designs the timing and flow of the routine, while the stage manager runs the show and signals everyone when it’s time to switch to the next segment. These cues keep everyone in sync with the music, lighting, and any prop or set changes, so the performance moves smoothly from one part to the next.

The makeup artist focuses on appearance and timing for makeup touch-ups, not on signaling transitions, and a ball handler’s role is to participate in the performance, not to direct the flow of the show. Audience volunteers aren’t responsible for cueing transitions either, since they don’t manage the production timing.
