Does anyone out there know of theatre software which runs on IBM-PC's, Apple ][e's, Atari ST's, Mac's, or Amiga's? (Sorry for the broad cross- posting, but it seems there's no net news group specifically set up for things theatrical.) A friend of mine does set design, and remarked that no program seems to have been written with a set designer in mind. We got to talking about it, and decided that choreography could be also made easier with a computer (instead of having the whole cast out on stage running up and down doing variations of a number). It strikes me that both could be helped a little by a good drawing package which allowed the use of different perspectives and of animation, but I imagine someone who does more theatre work would find a need for facilities I haven't thought of. So, to sum up, does anyone out there know what's available for theatre work, particularly set design and choreography, but also lighting, or anything else you can think of. Please send replies directly to me, as I don't subscribe to all of these digests.
