Running order

Stage lanes, acts, changeovers and crew status

SmartGig Stage Manager visual showing stage schedule lanes, act times, live status and production handover notes

Stage problems SmartGig stops early

Performer info stops wandering

Bios in a form. Riders in an inbox. Tech notes in a PDF. Availability changed after the first draft. Familiar, and completely avoidable.

SmartGig keeps contacts, files, riders, structured technical profiles, set lengths, notes, availability, and event-specific overrides together, so the running order starts from information that can hold its own.

Schedules get challenged first

A running order can look perfect right up until someone spots the impossible changeover, the closed stage, or the act booked on two stages at once.

SmartGig checks stage windows, availability, changeovers, locked items, performer clashes, and publish readiness before the schedule becomes everyone else's problem.

Crew get what they actually need

Sound, lighting, FOH, monitors, backline, artist liaison, and production teams do not need full SmartGig accounts just to read the day's technical detail.

Share read-only site technician links, stage/day scoped production packs, contact sheets, and change logs. If something goes stale, SmartGig calls it out.

Performer intake, production packs, and running orders in one place.

Stage Manager is built for events where the timetable, the rider, and the crew brief all have to agree. Revolutionary idea, apparently.

Performer applications

Collect applications, custom answers, files, availability, technical details, consent records, and save-and-resume drafts through public forms.

Applicant follow-up

Send accountless links so performers can update details, confirm offers, withdraw, or fix missing technical information without joining your team workspace.

Act and tech profiles

Store reusable act records with riders, files, structured technical profiles, default timings, completeness checks, and event-specific overrides.

Dashboard risk filters and reports

Filter stage events by setup, production readiness, crew sharing, contract risk, event status, and date window, then compare production, contract, and accreditation load across events.

Lineup readiness

Track approval status, headliner flags, production owner, due dates, missing details, technical review status, notes, and repeat performances.

Contract links and reminders

Send performer confirmation links by email or SMS, log offline handoffs, track deliveries, and surface unsent, expired, or unsigned contract links.

Scheduled reminders

Queue call-time, accreditation-change, and production-review deadline reminders for performers or production contacts before they become production-office chases.

Accreditation desk handover

Track guest allocations, on-day edits, credential reprints, and handover notes from the lineup workflow.

Stage specifications

Record stage windows, size, cover, PA, lighting, monitors, power, curfew, noise limits, accessibility, access route, and stage manager contact.

Site Planner context

Review published Site Planner stages, backstage routes, FOH positions, audience areas, production points, stage-flow warnings, and noise-sensitive zone conflicts inside Stage Manager setup.

Running-order builder

Build by day and stage with drag and drop, keyboard controls, locks, zoom, density controls, schedule health, and practical blocked-action guidance.

Clash protection

Block impossible overlaps, invalid times, same-act double bookings, closed-stage placements, stage-window breaches, and changeover conflicts before publish.

Versions and restore preview

Publish, compare, export, and restore running-order versions with clear added, removed, and changed rows before you commit.

Production packs

Generate stage/day scoped packs, performer contact sheets, and change logs with rider, technical, contact, stage, and file-index detail.

Production role access

Scope live operators, production-pack users, production contacts, accreditation desks, and accountless crew links without handing over the whole Stage Manager workspace.

Site technician links

Share read-only links for sound, lighting, FOH, monitors, backline, stage crew, artist liaison, production office, hospitality, security, and site teams, with live current/next status for show-day readers.

Crew material tracking

Track who received which pack or link, log access, rotate or revoke links, use optional passcodes, and flag stale crew material.

Live show mode

Focus by stage, update arrived, ready, on-stage, finished, delayed or cancelled states, propagate downstream delays, and record timestamped show-day notes.

From application form to show-day control.

Keep booking, production, scheduling, and live-stage teams working from the same version of the truth.

  4. 04

    Share production material

    Send scoped packs, contact sheets, change logs, and technician links to the people who need them, not the whole dashboard.

    Run the day

    Use live show mode for stage focus, arrival and ready states, on-stage and finished times, variance, and timestamped show notes.

Stop treating the running order like a shared guess.
