What is OpenTheatre?
OpenTheatre is an open-source web application designed for collaborative theatre creation. It provides tools for writers, directors, actors, designers and technicians to work together online to develop plays, musicals, and other theatrical productions.
Some key features of OpenTheatre include:
- Script writing and editing tools for developing scripts collaboratively
- Tools for blocking, choreography, staging, and other production planning
- Design collaboration tools for set, costume, lighting, and sound designs
- Rehearsal tools for table reads, running lines, and remote rehearsals
- File sharing, chat, video conferencing, and calendar features to coordinate collaboration
- Options to make scripts and productions private or public
By moving much of the theatre creation process online, OpenTheatre facilitates remote and decentralized collaboration between theatrical creatives. This allows artists to work together across geographic distances and on flexible schedules. The platform is free and open-source, developed by a community of open source contributors.
Overall, OpenTheatre aims to harness the connectivity of the web to make collaborative theatre creation more accessible, efficient, and inclusive for theatre artists and companies worldwide.
