Proscenium Doors, or Doors of Entrance, permanent feature of the English Restoration playhouse. Set on each side of the
forestage, they had practicable knockers and bells, and provided the usual means of exit and entrance for the actor. Leaving by one door and returning by another, he was presumed to be in another room even though the
wings and
backcloth remained unchanged. The number of doors varied from four to six not only in different theatres but also in the same theatre at different periods. By the early 18th century they were reduced to one on each side, and by the beginning of the 19th they were used only by the actor ‘taking a bow’ after the play. They were then known as Call Doors.
