Acts and scenes are not camera setups. Stagistic Editor keeps your play structured around characters, dialogue, and stage directions without making theatre conform to screenplay logic.
Film tools assume a new location means a new scene. But on stage, a single act can span an hour in one room, or jump through time and space in minutes.
Stagistic Editor is built on a true theatrical hierarchy. Group your scenes into acts, reorder them in the live outline, and let the editor handle the complex pagination and numbering automatically.
Theatre scripts demand flexibility that simple ALL CAPS text can't provide. In Stagistic Editor, characters are managed in a central catalogue.
You can easily write dialogue for multiple characters speaking simultaneously. You can group characters into ensembles, assign alternate names (for disguises or character development), and even link multiple characters to a single actor for the final export.
Stage directions aren't just action lines. They are instructions for the director and the actors performing the scene.
Stagistic Editor treats stage directions as distinct structural elements. You can write them inline within dialogue or as standalone blocks. Crucially, you can tag specific characters inside a stage direction, making it instantly clear who is performing the action.
