Prompted, on stage

CUED

Think of what a director might whisper to an actor just before their line, or the signal that starts a scene. It’s a short word often used in theater.

"Prompted, on stage" hints at the word "cued," which means giving a signal or reminder to an actor. In theater, a "cue" is a prompt for someone to deliver a line or perform an action, like a whispered reminder or a light signal. The clue plays on the double meaning of "prompted"—both as a general nudge and as a stage-specific term. It’s a straightforward definition with a theatrical twist.
