SHOW & THEATRE PRODUCTION · ALMATY
Technical production for shows and theatre
We design a stage production as one dramaturgical system: performers, scenery, lighting score, audio, video, mechanics, special effects and scene transitions operate from one master cue sheet.
Script becomes a cue sheetevery entrance, blackout, transition and effect has a precise command

STAGE VISUAL SYSTEM
Five visual and stage layers that shape a production
The audience experiences one coherent world. The technical team builds it from scenography, lighting, video, movement and precisely timed transitions.
SCENOGRAPHY
Stage and scenery
Portals, risers, stairs, backdrops, props and safe performer routes.
LIGHT SCORE
Lighting score
Lighting scenes by act, character accents, transitions, blackouts and finale looks.
VIDEO WORLD
Video and projection
LED, projection mapping, playback, titles and visual environments connected to the script.
MOVEMENT
Mechanics and transitions
Lifts, flying, scenery movement, scene changes and backstage routes.
CLIMAX
Special effects and climaxes
Haze, cold sparks, CO₂, confetti and effects used only at dramaturgically meaningful moments.
SHOW JOURNEY
Five operating modes of a stage production
From technical preset to final bow, every mode has its own commands, owners and readiness criteria.
Preset and check
Scenery, props, lines, microphones, playback, video and effects are checked.
Places and readiness
Performers are in position, backstage is closed and the stage manager confirms readiness.
Opening the world
First blackout, music, lighting scene, video and scenery reveal.
Scene transitions
Scene changes, entrances, props, mechanics and technical cues run without breaks.
Finale and bow
Climax, final effect, applause cue, full-company bow and show close.
SHOW PRODUCTION SYSTEM
Every technical department serves dramaturgy and stage safety
We design not isolated sound or lighting, but the connections between direction, performers, stage, backstage and audience.

Front light, backlight, effects, follow spot, cue scenes and precise focus.
- lighting plot
- cue programming
- color and levels by scene
Audio and playback
Speech, vocals, orchestra, tracks, effects, monitoring and backstage communications.

- playback A/B
- performer monitoring
LED, projection and content
LED scenography, projection mapping, media servers, timecode and live-camera inserts.
- content rundown
- main and backup playback

Mechanics and special effects
Rigging, flying systems, moving elements, haze, CO₂, confetti and safe effects.
- operator zones
- safety interlocks
- GO/HOLD procedure
Show control and backstage
Show caller, stage manager, intercom, cue sheet, call sheet and full rehearsal.
- single GO command
- cue-to-cue rehearsal
- contingency playbook
PRODUCTION FORMATS
Architecture matched to show and production format
An intimate theatre performance, a concert show and a large multimedia production require different stage systems, crews and rehearsal plans.
Theatre performance
Dramaturgy, actors, scenery, speech and precise scene changes.
- scenography and props
- theatre lighting
- wireless microphones / ambience
- stage management
Concert show
Performers, music, choreography, LED, special effects and live audience.
- main stage and backline
- concert lighting
- multicamera / IMAG
- show caller and cue sheet
Multimedia production
Complex scenography, video, mechanics, multiple acts and a large cast.
- LED / mapping
- timecode and media servers
- stage mechanics
- full redundancy
SHOW CONTROL MATRIX
One show control connects the director, performers, stage and technical departments
Every participant knows their call time and cue, while every GO command passes through one control point.
Director and creative team
Dramaturgy, scenes, transitions and the character of lighting, music and the visual world.
Stage manager and backstage
Performers, props, positions, scene changes, places calls and the GO command.
Actors and performers
Microphones, monitoring, safe routes, entrances and interaction with scenery.
Technical departments
Stage, lighting, audio, video, mechanics, effects, power and intercom.
Media and audience
Sightlines, cameras, IMAG, recording, speech intelligibility and coherent perception.

DRAMATURGY → CUE → GO
How a directorial idea becomes a precise stage cue
Every scene passes through the same production cycle — concept, technical design, programming, rehearsal and GO.
Dramaturgy
The director defines the scene meaning, pace, transition and emotional result.
Technical design
The team translates the idea into scenography, lighting, audio, video, mechanics and effects.
Programming
Systems are programmed, content is loaded and the cue sheet is assembled into one structure.
Rehearsal
Cue-to-cue and dress rehearsal test performers, transitions and technical responses.
GO
The show caller gives the command, departments execute the cue and confirm the next scene status.
PRODUCTION DOCUMENTS
Documents that turn a production into a controlled show
Before load-in and rehearsals, we lock stage, signals, performers, cues and backup solutions.
Stage & scenery plot
Stage, scenery, paths, props and technical zones.
Master cue sheet
Every command for lighting, audio, video, mechanics, FX and performers.
Lighting & media bible
Lighting scenes, playback, content, timecode and file versions.
Performer / mic matrix
Performers, microphones, monitoring, entrances and backstage calls.
Rigging & safety plan
Flying systems, loads, moving elements, safety zones and stop-work procedure.
Contingency playbook
Backup playback, cue substitutions and responses to technical failures.
STAGE INFRASTRUCTURE
The production as layered stage infrastructure
A coherent result appears only when artistic and technical layers are designed together.
FIVE PRODUCTION LAYERS
Dramaturgy → Stage → Performance → Technology → Control
Dramaturgical layerActs, scenes, transitions, climaxes and finale.
Scenographic layerScenery, props, stage geometry and mechanics.
Performance layerActors, performers, musicians, dancers and backstage.
Technical layerLighting, audio, video, effects, rigging and power.
Control layerShow caller, intercom, cue sheet, rehearsals and backup.
Cue-to-cue rehearsal
We isolate transitions and difficult technical moments until every cue is stable.
Full dress rehearsal
The production runs in costume with content, microphones, effects and real timing.
Safe mechanics
Every moving scenery or flying action has an operator, safety zone and stop procedure.
Show report
After rehearsal and performance, we log changes, errors, file versions and recommendations for the next show.
REAL SOUND PROJECTS
Stage and show projects by REAL SOUND
Real projects confirm experience with performers, scenography, live audio, lighting, video and multicamera programs.

FAQ
Questions about show and theatre technical production
What is included in technical production for a stage show?+
Stage and scenery, lighting, audio, wireless microphones, playback, LED or projection, rigging, mechanics, special effects, intercom, show caller and technical crew.
When should a technical producer join the project?+
Ideally during script and scenography development, so creative decisions account for the venue, loads, signals, setup time and safety.
Is a full dress rehearsal required?+
Yes. A full run is essential for productions with complex cues, scenery, performers, video or effects.
What is a cue-to-cue rehearsal?+
It is a rehearsal of technical transitions without playing every scene in full. It quickly checks lighting, audio, video, mechanics and entrances.
Can the show be synchronized with timecode?+
Yes. Timecode can link playback, lighting, video and selected effects, while critical transitions remain under show-caller control.
How are audio and playback backed up?+
We use main and backup playback, spare wireless microphones, duplicated critical signals and prepared recovery scenarios.
Do you work with moving scenery?+
Yes, when engineering calculations, safety zones, operators and a full technical rehearsal are in place.
Can you provide multicamera recording of the production?+
Yes. We design the camera plot, program feed, ISO recording, clean audio and archival delivery.
How is the cost calculated?+
By venue, scenography, number of performers and scenes, system scope, mechanical complexity, rehearsal count and redundancy requirements.
Do you work outside Almaty?+
Yes. REAL SOUND delivers projects in Almaty and other cities across Kazakhstan with a traveling technical crew.
