Production tools and consulting
for the people who actually run the venue.

EasyStagecraft is a small suite of practical software tools and a hands-on OHS & design consulting practice — built by 20+ years of live theatre operational experience, not by people who've never loaded a fly system.

More production tools

Band scheduling, stage management run sheets, lighting plot builder. Same philosophy: tools you can ship a real production with this term, not enterprise software you'll need a consultant to deploy.

Consulting & OHS services

For school halls, community theatres, civic venues — and the architects designing them.

Why we exist

Every year, performing arts spaces are designed, built, and operated that are technically dysfunctional or non-compliant — not because the people involved are bad at their jobs, but because the practitioners who actually use these spaces aren't usually in the room. EasyStagecraft puts that practitioner perspective into your project, your school, your venue.
