When to use it.
Run of Show is a three-page running order for a live event, shown for an awards night with 420 guests, eight awards and a Grand Prix. Page one gives the key times of the day from crew call to party, who is on which radio channel and which operator runs each cue, how cues are called, and the pre-show from doors to standby. Pages two and three take every segment to the second, with who is on stage, numbered lighting, sound, video, graphics and camera cues and notes, the first award broken down as the standard sequence, and what to do if a winner is missing, a video fails, the show runs late or must stop.

Make it yours in four steps.
Open it in Documents and work through it, or let Docsiv AI do the first pass with your details.
- Step 1
Put your event, venue, date and version in the header and on page 1, and set the key times of your day.
- Step 2
Fill in your crew, radio channels and cue operators, and the way your show caller calls standby and go.
- Step 3
Write each segment with its length, who is on stage, its cues and notes; the clock times follow from the lengths, so check the act totals.
- Step 4
Adapt the contingencies to your venue, then issue each new version with its number and the time it went out.
