What Overture Does
A run-of-show tool
that holds up at 5pm.
Overture replaces the brittle Excel run of show with a purpose-built app for corporate conference producers, stage managers, and crew. Here's everything it does.
Built around the realities of a live show
Every feature in Overture exists because a producer asked for it. No fluff, no "AI-powered" novelties, no dashboards you'll never open. Just the tools a real stage management team needs to keep a general session on time.
Tabbed sessions
One tab per session, day, or stage. Switch contexts without scrolling through 600 rows.
Drag-and-drop rows
Reorder cues, sessions, or break blocks with a mouse. Times recalculate automatically — no cascading formula explosions.
Auto-timing math
Insert a 4-minute video at 9:23am and every downstream cue shifts. The math is built in.
Printable crew sheets
One-click export per role — lighting, audio, video, stage, security. PDFs that match what's on screen.
Role-based crew views
Audio sees audio cues. Video sees video cues. No more squinting at a 47-column master rundown.
Live show clock
A real-time clock during the show, with running variance from the planned timing. Know instantly if you're 6 minutes late.
Follow-up flags
Tag a cue with a question for legal, a missing graphic, or a pending VIP arrival. Nothing falls through.
Multiple stages, one show
Manage a main stage, breakout rooms, and a sponsor lounge from a single event. Crew sees only what they need.
Version history
Every change is stamped. Roll back to last night's deck if today's edits go sideways.
What's coming next
Active development. Roadmap items in flight include presenter check-in, run-of-show templates, ICS export to crew calendars, and AV gear assignment. Subscribers vote on what we build next.
