EpicDraft for playwrights

Write it for the stage.Hear it at the table.

Stageplay format with acts, scenes and centered cues. Craft checks that know a stage from a screen. A table read with a voice for each character, and clean print.

Stageplay format, craft checks, table reads and print are free on every platform. Pro is $15, once.

02 — The workflow

From first scene to a clean print.

Write in stageplay format, check the craft, hear the play, block the stage and print the pages.

  1. 01Free

    Write in stageplay format

    Centered cues, full-width dialogue, parentheticals and numbered acts and scenes. Add a cast list under each scene.

  2. 02Free

    Check the craft

    Flags screen transitions, camera language and INT./EXT. sluglines, which a stage does not use. Length is measured against ten-minute, one-act or full-length targets.

  3. 03Free

    Hear it at the table

    A table read plays your script aloud, a voice for each character and a narrator for the stage directions. Use the teleprompter for the people in the room.

  4. 04Free

    Block the stage in 3D

    Place stand-ins, set pieces and lights for a scene. The overhead view shows the set from above, with the cameras and everything on it.

  5. 05Free

    Print clean pages

    Print or download a PDF with no watermark. Pick A4 or US Letter, a page or scene range, and a title page.

03 — Between rehearsals

Get the play to the room.

Your world, your readers and your cast, each with what they need.

  1. 01Free

    Keep the world in the Story Library

    Characters, locations, scenes and outlines sit beside the script, so the play and its notes stay together.

  2. 02Pro

    Send a reader link

    Share the script through Sharing with a reader link. Readers can read and give coverage without Pro. Making the link is Pro.

  3. 03Pro
