Hardware and Other Resources
	Theatre Cue Lights A Stage Manager will need to signal various technicians and actors when to work together and in time on a show. Using the Theatre Cue Light System developed by The Leon Audio Company various locations can be signalled discreetly. The system also allows for the person to confirm they are in position ready for the “Go”. The Theatre Cue Light System can be controlled from SCS Pro or Pro Plus by RS232 Control Send cues.
