LightBookShow The Light Passport for Stage Productions
A mobile companion for lighting designers, stage managers and touring crews. Build, edit and carry the complete lighting documentation of a production in your pocket.
What is a light passport?
A light passport is the single source of truth for the lighting of a show — the rig, the cues, the patches, the focus, the timings and the notes. LightBookShow turns that documentation into a structured, portable, editable file that travels with the production.
