===Zones===

Zones have two sympathetic functions in Wintermute:

   - The act as representations of physical areas within the show - both as part of the show [[flow]] and outside it (for example FoH or BoH areas).
   - The are used to organise information about the show, as containers for [[variables]]((Zones also have their own status value that can be set and queried absent a child variable)).

Show zones can also be queried for a number of [[concepts:variables:special]] variables relating to the audience [[groups|group]]((The most advanced group in a zone with a depth greater than one)) currently in that zone.

==Zone Timers==

All show zones have an associated [[concepts:timers|timer]].



==Referring to the group in a Zone==

All zones in the show-flow have built-in [[concepts:variables:special | variables]] that allow you to refer to the group currently in that zone (or the last group in the case where depth is greater than one.
