Before rehearsal, set the table
Create the show home base, bring in people and documents, set the report and schedule structures, and give the production a place to start before the first change arrives.
For freelance stage managers
Freelance stage management means being the whole system: the binder, the spreadsheets, the group chat, and the memory. BackstageOS gives the production its own connected record, one that starts fast, holds together as the show changes, and comes with you to the next contract.
Create the show home base, bring in people and documents, set the report and schedule structures, and give the production a place to start before the first change arrives.
Schedules, Daily Calls, attendance, contacts, notes, and tasks belong together because one change can affect all of them. The point is fewer places to check before you can answer the room.
A good show record makes the next person less dependent on your memory. BackstageOS helps decisions, documents, reports, schedules, and notes stay findable after the moment has passed.
