About this course
Six self-paced lessons on turning an empty room into a show: PA placement and gain-staging, lighting states that follow a set, stage plots that survive contact with real bands, and the run-of-show that keeps a four-act night on time.
Every lesson pairs a short video with a downloadable worksheet. Enroll once and keep lifetime access including future updates as our rig evolves.
