1. curtain call

   A curtain call is a theatrical tradition where the performers return to the stage to receive applause from the audience following the conclusion of the show. It often involves the ensemble or principal performers individually or collectively taking bows. It can occur in plays, ballets, operas, and musicals, and it's often done in front of the closed curtain after the performance has officially ended. It’s called a "curtain call" because it's typically done after the final curtain has been lowered and raised again.

Luciano Pavarotti holds the record for receiving 165 curtain calls, more than any other artist. Curtain calls are not solely limited to actors in theaters. Athletes who also perform well may return to the field of play after a big play or at the conclusion of the game for recognition. Professional baseball players usually take their cap or helmet by the brim and hold it in the air. In film, the term "curtain call" is used to denote the film's end credits showing clips, stills, or outtakes of each character with the actor's name captioned. This sequence results in a similar individual recognition by the audience as a stage curtain call. This is usually only done in films that are light-hearted and have many characters, or perhaps a long list of cameo appearances.
