Keeping track of character relationships can be challenging—especially in shows with large casts, intertwined storylines, and complicated family, romantic, or social connections.
That’s why we’re excited to introduce StageAgent’s new interactive character maps, now available in StageAgent Show Guides.
Character maps give actors, students, and theatre educators a visual way to explore how the characters in a play or musical connect. Instead of piecing together relationships from a list of character descriptions, you can see the structure of a show at a glance.
StageAgent Character Maps: Visualize Show Relationships Instantly
With these maps, you can bring shows to life, save prep time, and explore character dynamics deeper than ever before.
See Character Relationships at a Glance
StageAgent character maps transform traditional character breakdowns into an interactive web of relationships.
With a character map, you can:
- See connections instantly. Explore family relationships, romantic interests, friendships, rivalries, and other important connections between characters.
- Click to explore characters. Select a character to view additional information, including character traits, vocal range when applicable, and key scenes.
- Filter and focus. Narrow the map to specific characters or relationships, making even complicated shows easier to explore
Rather than simply learning who the characters are, you can quickly understand how they fit into the larger world of the show.

A New Tool for the Theatre Classroom
For theatre educators, character maps can turn something that once required a whiteboard or hand-drawn diagram into an interactive classroom resource.
Project a map while introducing a new play or musical, use it to discuss character relationships and conflicts, or help students follow complex storylines as they study a show.
Character maps can also provide a useful starting point for discussion.
- Why are two characters connected?
- How does that relationship change over the course of the story?
- Which characters sit at the center of the show’s conflicts?
Instead of spending prep time creating your own relationship charts, you can start exploring the show with your students right away.
Dig Deeper Into a Role
Character maps aren’t just for the classroom.
For actors preparing for an audition or exploring a role, understanding the relationships surrounding a character can provide valuable context. A character breakdown tells you about the character; a character map helps you see the larger social world they inhabit.
Seeing those connections can help you better understand a character’s motivations, conflicts, alliances, and relationships—and make more informed choices as you prepare a role.
