Figure 53, LLC is an American technology company based in Baltimore, Maryland.[3] Figure 53's flagship product is QLab, a proprietary cue-based multimedia playback system for macOS for use in theatre and other forms of live performance. Some of their other products include Go Button and QLab Remote.[4]
History
By the time Figure 53 was incorporated in Maryland in March 2006, QLab had been in development for over 2 years.[5] Over time, it has evolved into an industry standard for show control.[6][7][8][9] In 2018, Figure 53 announced the acquisition of the defunct Playhouse Theatre building, and revamped it to create The Voxel theatre in 2020. The Voxel serves both as a research lab for the company and as a theatre intended to promote and facilitate technological experimentation in performance art.[10][11][12][13]
