scenprogram

Scenprogram is a term used in theatre, live events, and, less commonly, broadcasting to describe the planned sequence of scenes or segments in a production, together with the technical cues and timing required to move between them. It serves as a central reference for performers, technicians, and stage crew to coordinate actions, lighting, sound, and set changes.

The scenprogram typically includes the order of scenes or numbers, approximate durations, transitions, and a detailed cue list. Each cue specifies what should happen, who is responsible, and when it should occur (for example lighting changes, sound effects, or prop movements). The document is often created by the director in collaboration with the stage manager and technical designers and is revised during rehearsals.

In practice, the scenprogram is used during tech rehearsals and live performances to synchronize all departments. It is commonly distributed as a cue sheet or integrated into stage management software, sometimes linked to a lighting plot, sound design, or automation system. Modern productions may store scenprogram data digitally, enabling on-stage displays, remote cue triggering, or real-time updates.

Related concepts include run of show, cue sheet, show cue plan, and production schedule. While scenprogram is most closely associated with theatre, similar planning documents are used in film, television, and event production to ensure precise timing and coordination.
