The Story

Seven years ago, a Broadway electrician came to us in search of a better cue light controller. Working closely with him, we developed the Prospero to the specifications of Broadway electricians and stage managers. Since it went into production in 2014, it has been used on more than 75 Broadway productions and tours, as well as numerous installations in regional theatres and road houses. (You can find a mostly-complete list of Prospero installations here.)

Because the Prospero was designed in collaboration with both stage managers and electricians, it has features that make it a great choice for both of them.

For the Stage Manager

Sturdy toggle switches with long levers for easy use and physical feedback of actuation
Reconfigurable face panels for custom colors and groupings of switches,
allowing the panel to be designed for maximum usability
Ample 1″ label space between switch and LED

For the Electrician

DMX output – no proprietary protocols
Use any DMX-controlled system for your cue lights – no need to buy specialized equipment
Slide fader, dial fader and 2-toggle options available
Rack-mountable
