Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / PROMPT BOOK: Creating a Calling Script (meta-thread)
« on: Apr 09, 2006, 12:25 pm »
Hello all. I'm an old stage manager who hasn't stage managed in years (did the producing thing for years), but now I'm back to calling a show.
I'm curious if any of you fine folks could recommend a program for creating a callbook. I'm pretty tech savvy, but the last time I called a show my laptop weighed about 35 pounds and I did my report on a typewriter.
Rather than try and invent the wheel in the hopes of making MS Word work for me, I'm hoping somebody will have a suggestion of what might work.
The show's not huge, but also not just up and down. About 30 sound cues, 100 LX cues, about 20 follow-spot cues, and lots of wireless mics on and off.
Thanks for any thoughts! Comps for everybody!!
NOTE: This is now a meta-thread, consisting of at least four separate threads all merged together. - PSMK
