Go2Cue
For theatre · Windows and Mac · iPhone and iPad stations

Cue the crew.
Run the show.
Skip the late-night notes.

Cue lights that tell the crew what's coming, headset coms, and rehearsal notes that write themselves, on the laptops, iPhones and iPads you already have.

Free foreverThe basics are yours to keep. Add only what your theatre needs.
Cues

Not just a light. The cue.

Every crew position sees the cue number, what it is, and what's next. Standby flashes until they tap READY, and you see who's ready before you say GO.

  • The crew knows what's coming: "FLY 4, balcony border in, slower", not just a red light.
  • Every standby answered: who's ready and who isn't, at a glance.
  • Any screen: an old laptop, an iPhone or iPad, or a $35 touchscreen. No cable runs.

The usual way: a bulb on a wire, and "fly rail, are you there?" on headset.

One more thing

Your GO runs lighting, sound and video.

The stage manager's screen shows the cue every desk is in, and what's next, live. One press and lights, sound and video GO together, or let each operator take their own.

The usual way: "lights, what cue are you in?", three people on three screens, and the stage manager guessing.

One GO, every desk →

Coms

The stations are the coms.

Plug a headset into any Go2Cue laptop, iPhone or iPad. It's tied into the cueing, so one key talks to whoever is on standby. A party line or your own channels, call buttons, and a mic kill.

  • No beltpacks, no base station: the devices you have are the coms.
  • Talk to the standbys: one key, and only the crew on standby hears you.
  • Your talkback is free: your voice in every headset, on every plan.

The usual way: around $1,000 per wireless beltpack, a base station, and a separate system that knows nothing about your cues.

Notes

No more late-night rehearsal notes.

A complete rehearsal note-taking system. Your notes are done before the lights are out. Speak or type during the run: each note lands on its cue, stamped with the scene and page, sorted by department.

  • Hold a key and talk: it's written down. The director and every designer take notes on their own laptops too.
  • Film it on anything: Go2Cue lines the video up with your notes afterwards. Click a note, and the playhead jumps to that moment.
  • Each actor gets their own notes, by email, in one click.

The usual way: two hours typing up notes after every rehearsal, an email to each actor, and scrubbing through the video to find the moment a note was about.
