theatrical production management
Ghostlight Folio is a simple database for managing various aspects of a theatrical production
Ghostlight Folio is a simple application designed to help theatrical stage managers and directors keep track of the various aspects of the shows they work on.
The idea is that a user will be able to use the Show
database to find a show they want to produce, then once they have created their Production
of that show,
they will be able to add cast members and assign them to Roles
. We will also support Scenes
(and maybe Acts
) as well as Things
(props, tools, scenery)
which can be assoicated with Roles
and Scenes
. It might be necessary to support more granular timestamps within scenes.
Eventually I would really like to provide some kind of tool for handling blocking. The idea is to have a grid of the stage with the ability to assign characters
and things to positions on the stage. It would be nifty if that could be done via drag-and-drop, but that might not be strictly necessary.
This code is going to be open-source and publicly available but I am also planning to host my own version which will be available for use.
