  • What is StageNow for?

    StageNow is built around the complete run of show, connecting planning, rehearsal, live production and crew execution.

  • Who is StageNow for?

    Directors, show callers, stage managers, speakers, hosts, and lighting, audio, video and stage crews. Start with the information your role needs.

  • How do Cue and Timer differ?

    Cue is for backstage execution: the instructions and prompts around each segment. Timer is for speakers and hosts: clear time information to support their delivery.

  • Where does the host script fit?

    The host script belongs with its segment, so the host can follow the content and the transition around it. Spoken content and backstage action notes serve different readers and should remain distinct.
