Thank You 5 LLC, a software development company devoted to supporting live theatrical productions, today officially released its first product, LineNotes®.  LineNotes is an application designed to save stage managers, directors, and other theatre professionals significant time in creating, sorting, and distributing production notes throughout the rehearsal process.

Thank You 5 LLC was founded in 2004 by a group of theatre professionals in New York City who recognized that live theatre production had yet to benefit from software developed specifically for its unique needs. Possessing first-hand knowledge of the clerical burdens in theatre production, Thank You 5 develops software solutions that simplify tedious tasks and maximize creative opportunity in the theatre.

"Thank You 5 is devoted to supporting great theater, and that means freeing the time and easing the burdens of those who create it.  Our goal for all of Thank You 5's software projects is to save theatre people loads of time and hassle on paperwork, so they can concentrate on making great theatre.  Their work is too important, they have made too many sacrifices, and they work too hard to waste energy pushing paper," says Thank You 5 founder, Jeff Cribbs.

LineNotes® allows users to create, organize, and distribute all sorts of production notes.  Notes can be sent to the cast and staff of a production, by print or email, with just a few clicks of a mouse. LineNotes can interface directly with an electronic script in Microsoft Word®, so taking script-related notes is fast, accurate, and legible.

LineNotes is available for download exclusively at the Thank You 5 website,  www.thankyou5.com.  LineNotes is being offered at an introductory price of $99.95.  A free demo is also available.

"From day one, we designed LineNotes for theatre people.  You can create notes at the speed of your rehearsal.  You can send notes to everyone at the click of a button.  You can see at a glance which notes have been distributed, and how.  The notes you send will be crisp and clean.  LineNotes will save theatre people a lot of time and headaches in communicating with their production staff," says LineNotes programmer, Nate Roberts.
