Frequently asked questions
Is this backstage checklist free?
Yes. It is free and lives entirely on this page. There is no signup and nothing to download.
Can volunteers use it on a phone during the show?
Yes. The items are togglable on the page, so a backstage helper can work through them on a phone or tablet as the show runs.
How does it relate to Dance Solutions?
Dance Solutions is designed to turn a backstage list like this into a connected run sheet with check-in and quick-change views. You can also run the free Recital Readiness Check to spot gaps first.
Does it replace a full run-of-show?
No. It is a companion to your running order. Use it alongside the run-of-show to manage check-in, props, and quick changes.
