I am looking for recommendations on inventory management software. Something better than a giant excel sheet, but without spending thousands of dollars every year. I like the idea of barcoding, but it wouldn't necessarily be required. I've looked into "Costume and Theater Inventory Resources"...

Short Version: ControlBooth to the rescue again! Thank you all. I completely understand now.Long version: I can't thank you enough. We're in crunch time for a show (something about a small sea-girl with a tail). I'm so wrapped up in it and getting my students on track with construction...

I saw this mentioned in another thread briefly and I can't remember where now. I would like to give my theater the opportunity to have wireless music control from a phone. I would like to be able to give the controller (mostly myself) the ability to plug into a Shure beltpack so I can walk...

As I've done a little more research on it, has anyone ever used "interfacing" fabric? [Purchase Link] Seems like it could be a low-budget option, but I'm not sure if the durability would be worth the savings.

Van, flats and jacks we have, totally forgot about those because they got put away before the show we're working on now. Rick, HAHAHAHAHAHA. That is the truth! Jon, , I have to agree with TheaterEd, . :p

I recently started a new job as a technical director for my old high school. Unfortunately, they do not quite have the standard supply of scene pieces they need. So I ask... What do y'all keep on supply for standard set pieces? Below are some of the things I know we have already. TIA4x8...
