A quick change is a costume change that has to happen in seconds, usually in the wings in a quick-change booth with a dresser, because the performer exits in one look and re-enters moments later in another. The costume plot shows where they are; the run sheet assigns the dresser.

In CueCall

Two different looks in consecutive scenes on the costume plot mark a quick change, and a dresser's duty for it goes on the run sheets.
