Everything in its place

Bringing every element of your performance seamlessly together

ShowSculptor, formerly known as Check In Pointe, was created in 2017 by Joe Naftal to solve a backstage challenge at his own dance studio: quickly and efficiently checking dancers in and out during performances. Recognizing the need across the dance industry for better performance management tools, Check In Pointe launched as a commercial product in 2019. Over the years, it has evolved into a comprehensive platform serving over 300 studios worldwide, offering solutions for show planning, backstage management, costume coordination, and more. Rebranded as ShowSculptor in 2024, the platform reflects its expanded capabilities and commitment to empowering studios with tools that shape every aspect of performance planning and execution.

01
Stage Manager

ShowSculptor's premium Stage Manager feature puts your stage manager in complete control. Call the show from a digital call script that holds every detail: the dancers in each routine, their starting and ending positions, and all lighting, sound, video, and prop cues. Run every performance with confidence and precision.

02
Wardrobe Supervisor

ShowSculptor's premium Wardrobe Supervisor feature gives dressing room managers a complete view of every costume change, including how many dances each performer has between changes. See what needs to happen and when, so every dancer is ready for their next routine and your dressing room runs without last-minute stress.

03
Show Status Display

ShowSculptor's Show Status Display keeps everyone in the loop. Backstage monitors show the dance currently on stage and what's coming up next, updated live by the stage manager, so dancers, crew, and staff always know where the show stands and are ready for their moment.

04
Light Lab

ShowSculptor's Light Lab lets you design your show's lighting before you ever set foot in the theater. Build looks with front, back, and side light, experiment with color and mood, and see a realistic preview of each moment on stage. Then share the picture with your lighting designer so everyone walks into tech week already on the same page.
