The Theater Maker running a show: the GO button, the cue list and the script with cues placed on its lines

One app for the whole show

Built for theatre groups, schools and technicians who run the show from one computer.

  • Run the Show

    One cue list with a big GO button. Stop all on Esc, Oops to undo the last GO, Go to cue by number, hotkeys 1 to 9 and a countdown to doors and curtain.

  • Sound

    Sound cues and playlists with fades. Play the exact part of a file, keep it playing or fade it at the next GO, and send it to a chosen output pair on a multi-output interface.

  • Video and pictures

    Video and picture cues on a chosen screen with transitions, corner pin to fit a projector to the set, and a walk-in screen with a countdown for the audience.

  • Lights

    Supports DMX through ENTTEC DMX USB Pro, Pro Mk2 and Open DMX USB, and Art-Net and sACN nodes. Colour looks, smart looks with tempo, looks made from a song, moving heads and haze.

  • Stage

    Draw your stage by its measurements, place the rig from the bundled Open Fixture Library and see it in a live plan and a 3D view.

  • Cue mode

    Put cues on every key of your computer keyboard or on the pads of a MIDI controller. Pads of a Launchpad Mini [MK3], Launchpad X or APC mini mk2 light in the colour of their cue.

  • Script view

    Paste your script or open a Word or text file, place cues on their lines, and the standing-by line lights up.

  • Stage manager remote

    A phone or tablet on the show network runs GO, Stop all, Oops, the sound level, the cue list and the whole script, behind a 4-digit code.

  • MIDI and OSC

    Fire GO and other actions from a MIDI controller, an OSC app or a sound desk.

  • Built for the night itself

    Show mode locks editing, one show file keeps its own media folder and backups, and updates install with one click, never during a show. Every function is explained in the Help tab.

Cue mode: sound, video and light cues on the keys of the computer keyboard
