New Rehearsal Application Revolutionizes Play Development
1888 PressRelease The latest version of the Scriptopia rehearsal app is being used by Director Wes Gratom
in the production of Lone Star Spirits. Artists say they have more time to be creative and collaborative,
resulting in a better experience for the audience.
New York, NY Scriptopia today announced availability of the latest release of its online rehearsal
application, version 2.0. The software is used by theater groups to increase collaboration and creativity
during play readings and rehearsals. Version 2.0 is available immediately and offers new features for
remote team members, personal annotations, and usage in facilities with sporadic access to the internet.
"Scriptopia has been an essential tool during our development of Lone Star Spirits", said Wes Grantom,
Director for the new play written by Josh Tobiessen. "Because our playwright, Josh Tobiessen, works
remotely away our Manhattan production location, we needed a way to integrate him with the creative
process. Scriptopia was the only product we knew of that would make this possible."
Scriptopia 2.0 provides realtime capabilities for working with team members, whether they are located
all in the same room or working remotely around the world. Private messaging allows a playwright to
communicate with the director as well as make updates to scripts without interrupting rehearsals. Other
creative team members can also communicate electronically based on their role in a production.
Scriptopia 2.0 also includes capabilities for rehearsing in facilities with sporadic access to the internet,
which is commonplace in the theaters of Manhattan and other areas. With the ability to automatically
sense network connections and only release updates when connections are available, Scriptopia can be
used continually, further enhancing collaboration and giving teams more time to be creative....
