A call back is basically a 2nd audition. The director has weeded out those who went to the initial audition (where actors may not have read from the play) to those actors s/he wants to see for specific parts and read against other actors who are up for other parts to see how they look/act together, whether there's chemistry, etc.
It does not mean you're definitely in, but it means you did something the director liked. Usually call-backs consist of readings from the play you auditioned for (as opposed to doing a monologue. They've already seen you can act, now they need to see you in context). If you haven't read it, check it out from the library to familiarize yourself with it, especially scenes with Tony and Mercer.

It mean they are inerested in ou and want to see if you are cappible for a good part. DO GOOD!

good luck!!

A call back is when the director calls you back to see you audition again. It doesn't mean you're bad, it usually just means they need to see a bit more from you, or it's a close tie between casting you and another person, so they need to see you again. (Sometimes you will read the same monologues you used the first time. Ocassionally they'll give you a different one)

A call back is an invitation to do a further audition (kinda like finals). It's hard to say what the committee has in mind. They may ask you to read for a specific role or they may have you switch off with others; running lines - see how you look lwith another actor (match-up).
It is a good thing, though. Just be prepared to do the best you can and stay reasonably calm.
Break a leg!
