About

The paper calling script has met its match.

Cuelist started because of an ongoing frustration: annotating and sharing cues on paper was slow, cumbersome, and nearly impossible to keep in sync. It was a problem for us as theatermakers. So, we solved it.

Our story.

The idea for Cuelist was developed through thousands of hours in theaters over the last 25 years designing and teaching. The frustration was always the same: marking cues and annotating scripts meant a pencil, a printed script, and a lot of erasing. When you needed to share, you photocopied. When cue numbers shifted, you renumbered the rest by hand. And when a page changed, you started over.

We launched Cuelist in 2019 and have spent years improving it. It has now been used on more than 20,000 productions, from Broadway houses to university workshops.

All features come from people who use it. Designers, stage managers, and educators tell us what slows them down, and we build the fix. That is still how Cuelist grows.

Your work outlives your subscription

Every project stays on our servers. If you stop paying, you keep view and print access to everything you have ever built.

Less paper, by design

Cutting printing is the point, not a side effect. We work with the Broadway Green Alliance because a production that stops photocopying scripts saves real trees.

Professional product, student pricing

A student rate that holds for four years, education pricing built for departments, and free training for faculty. Nothing is held back for the classroom.

This program is accessible for those of us who have been at this for twenty years the old-fashioned way, on paper. Now we are ready to save hundreds of trees. I’m happy that working with cueing has finally arrived in the twenty-first century.
