stage.create is a tool for rehearsals and creative processes for theatre productions. From the first rehearsals till the premiere, stage create will be at your side, keeping the overview on the most complex productions. For rehearsals, the C-buttons are a very efficient way of streamlining your work. Play music from exact positions, so everybody is sure to start at the right point. Put entries, exits, scene names and important points in the production as text cues on the music so you can jump to the right position immediately. To create a production from scratch, start from an empty timeline, put elements of your production as cues on positions. These can be text, videos, music, lightcues, photos and drawings. Position them in different layers so you stay flexible throughout the creation process. Send the project directly to collaborators or export it to a Numbers/Excel sheet for external use. Include musical scores into the app, set the timing with the music in your project and synchronize the score with your video or music. Check where you are in the score, see your Cues in the score and jump to positions. Put in the counts for choreography, see at what point you are at a glance with the counts preview.
