Show reports

Every performance, properly written up

Design the show report your venue needs - house open, curtain up and down, sound levels, incidents, shutdown checks - and every department fills in its own for each performance. Reports are submitted and locked, discussed with comments, and searchable by management long after the get-out.

The difference

From scattered and stressful to joined-up and calm

Without a system like this

  • Paper show reports in a ring binder no one reads
  • Running times and incidents emailed in different formats
  • No way to look back across a run for patterns

With Sonic EMS

  • One template, filled the same way every night
  • A report per department for each performance
  • Every report searchable, filterable and exportable
What you get

Built to do the job properly

Your template

Sections and fields - times, numbers, yes/no, choices, staff and free text - with required flags.

Per department

Technical, Front of House and Duty Managers each get their own report for each date.

Submitted & locked

Draft as the show runs, submit when done, with version history kept.

Comments

Discuss a submitted report and @mention colleagues to bring them in.

Show Reports

Fill it in as the show runs

Duty managers and crew open today’s performances and fill in their report from any device, with fields pre-set from your template. Save a draft at the interval, submit at the end of the night, and the report is locked with its history kept.

  • Today’s performances in one list
  • Reports marked “Yours” for your department
  • Draft, then submit and lock
Show Reports

Look back across the whole run

Management can search and filter every show report by date, status or text, open any one in a click, and export the lot to CSV or Excel. Reports are also available through the REST API for your own dashboards.
