Built for the people who make theatre happen.
StageManager is the operations tool we wished we'd had — for the directors, leads, cast, and crew who run on coffee, group texts, and pure passion.
Theatre runs on volunteers. Whether it's a high school drama department, a community playhouse, or a regional company — passionate people show up after work and on weekends to build sets, sew costumes, run lights, and bring stories to life. They don't have project managers or operations teams — they have group texts, spreadsheets, and crossed fingers.
StageManager was born from that exact experience. After years of watching talented volunteers burn out — not from the work, but from the chaos of coordinating it — we decided to build something better.
One place for schedules, signups, projects, messaging, hours, and expenses. No learning curve, no upsells, no sales pitch. Just a simple, focused app that respects your time and helps your team do what they love — make great theatre.
What we believe
Every decision in StageManager — from the pricing to the permissions model — comes back to these six ideas.
Built for passion, not payroll
Theatre runs on volunteers. Every feature is designed to respect their time and reduce coordination overhead.
One tool, not ten
Schedules, RSVPs, projects, hours, messaging, expenses, auditions — in a single, focused app your team will actually open.
Honest, simple pricing
$26.50/month, flat. No tiers, no per-seat fees, no sales calls. Every feature included for every member of your team.
Theatre-first, always
Not generic project management. Built for the rhythms of auditions, rehearsals, tech week, and curtain call.
Your data, your team
Multi-tenant by design with row-level security. Members only see the productions they're part of. No data leaks across orgs.
Always improving
Real feedback from real theatre companies drives our roadmap. Updates ship continuously — no version upgrades, no migrations.
