ONSET SOFTWARE PRESENTS ... PRS - PLAY REHEARSAL SCHEDULER A NEW WAY TO
ORGANIZE THEATRICAL PRODUCTIONS Tinton Falls, NJ - July 25, 2001 - OnSet Software, a
media arts software company, has released PRS (Play Rehearsal Scheduler) v1.00,
a new software program for stage directors, technical directors, stage
managers and producers that is virtually a production book in your computer. A custom designed database that manages the details of a theatre production from the beginning of rehearsals through the final performance, PRS brings a new level of organization to any sized theatrical endeavor. In addition to providing instant access and cross-referencing for all production information, PRS generates more than 60 pre-designed reports to create rehearsal schedules, scene breakdowns, cast, prop, costume, music, crew, vendor and set lists. The program CD includes a comprehensive electronic manual with an in-depth tutorial. A printed version of the 100-page manual is available separately. OnSet Software’s founder, award-winning
cinematographer David Sperling, has been designing custom software solutions for
movies and television since 1992, and enjoys bringing feature film technologies
to the stage. “I am extremely
gratified by all the positive feedback and suggestions we have received from the
production directors and managers across the country who Beta tested PRS on both
large musicals and smaller cast plays. We rely heavily on our users to educate
us as to their needs, and will incorporate their requests into future
versions,” explained Sperling. Minimum requirements for the use of PRS are Windows
95, 98, 2000 or NT, 24 Mb RAM, and a hard drive with 6+ Mb storage. (Almost any
computer that can run Windows 9x can handle PRS.) A limited demo version of the
software is available from the OnSet Software website at www.onsetsoftware.com.
Retailing at $89.00, PRS can
be ordered through the company website. Play publishers Samuel French and
Baker’s Plays will also be carrying the software in their catalogues this
fall. As a bonus, PRS purchasers will receive free upgrades for one
year. A continuing upgrade subscription plan will be announced at a later date. "This is a powerful, customizable database
program specifically designed to provide important information that will solve
many of your production needs." --- Stage Directions Magazine,
