{"product_id":"props-kit","title":"Props Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eProps is the department where the problem is always specific and always late. Something is missing, something is broken, or something has quietly run out — and you find out with an audience in the room, because nothing was counting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour prop templates, and they hand off to each other. Every prop gets an ID on the first one and keeps it through the other two, so anyone can follow one object from the day you decided to build it to the night it broke, without asking you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s built in\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne Prop ID, start to finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e P014 on the Props List is P014 on the preset and P014 in the repair log.

When the spares drop below the shows left, the whole row goes red. Nothing else on that sheet can end a night.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA preset list that reorders itself.\u003c\/strong\u003e You build the show in Prop ID order and you walk the preset table by table. The Preset by Location tab regroups every row by position, writes itself, and is the one you print and tape up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe column most props paperwork skips.\u003c\/strong\u003e Whose hand takes the prop when it leaves the stage.
