About Encore Features

What Encore is, the backstage tools it includes (Stage Manager, Wardrobe Supervisor, Show Status Display, Light Lab and the Volunteer Signup Form), and how to get it on Production Pro or as a $29 per-show add-on.

Written by Joe Naftal

Encore is ShowSculptor's set of tools for running the show itself: backstage, in the wings and in the booth. Everything updates live across every device that has the show open.

What's included

  • Stage Manager: run the lineup, mark what's on stage, time the show, take notes and change the show order.

  • Wardrobe Supervisor: track every dancer's costume change between routines.

  • Show Status Display: a backstage TV screen showing what's on stage, up next and coming up.

  • Light Lab: design lighting looks and save them to routines.

  • Volunteer Signup Form: a public link where parents sign up to volunteer.

How to get Encore

  • Production Pro: Encore is included on every show.

  • Essentials: add Encore to a single show for $29 (one time). Open the show in any Encore tool and click Add Encore — $29. Light Lab unlocks once any show has Encore, and the Volunteer Signup Form lists only shows with Encore.

  • Free: Encore isn't included. Upgrade under Settings, then Billing.

Tip: Want to see it first? Click Try the Encore demo in any Encore tool to explore a sample show. The demo never saves changes.

Staff need the Stage Manager permission for Stage Manager, Show Status Display and Light Lab, and Wardrobe Supervisor for Wardrobe Supervisor.
