Creating a Run of Show

Any event with some type of activity on a stage needs a Run of Show document to tell all the behind-the-scenes players what to do. Whether it’s stage managers, lighting technicians, audio technicians, technical directors, or your voice of god (announcer), the Run of Show serves as the architectural blueprint and road map for a successfully executed program. In this class you’ll learn how to create a professional run of show in an easy step by step process.
