The problem

Show callers, stage managers and production coordinators need to call cues, manage timing, push information to other screens and keep the whole team aligned — often from a desk with only their laptop. Most tools are either too simple or overly complex broadcast systems.

How ShowPrompt solves it

ShowPrompt is built from the perspective of someone calling a show. The controller gives you a full running order, cue list with standby and go, timer controls, and the ability to push information to every display screen simultaneously — all in one browser window.

No cloud dependency. ShowPrompt runs locally. Internet outages during your show will not affect your calling position.

FAQ

Questions about Show Caller

Can I import a running order from a spreadsheet or Word doc?

ShowPrompt has its own running order builder. Import from external files is on the product roadmap. For now, running orders are built directly in ShowPrompt's controller.

Can I use ShowPrompt alongside an intercom system?

Yes. ShowPrompt works alongside Clear-Com, RTS, or any intercom system. It handles visual information screens — timers, cues, running orders — while your intercom handles voice comms.

Can I call cues from a tablet rather than a laptop?

Yes. ShowPrompt's controller page works on any browser, including tablets. You could operate from an iPad rather than a laptop if preferred.

Is there a dedicated DSM or stage manager mode?

ShowPrompt's theatre mode is designed with the DSM in mind — show state, countdown timers, and per-department cue lights. The main controller page functions as the show caller's interface across all modes.

What the room sees

While you call the show, the presenter and audience screens stay clean — timer, current item and the cue you push.
