Scheduling

Build the schedule. Keep it alive.

Create rehearsals, build calls, fittings, and performances — then watch attendance, conflicts, and RSVPs roll in without chasing anyone down.

Event categories with defaultsRehearsal, Performance, Build Call, Costume Fitting, and more — each with color coding, default groups, and RSVP settings. Fully customizable.
Recurring shiftsSet weekly, bi-weekly, or custom-recurrence events once. Members RSVP per-instance so missing one week doesn't mean dropping out entirely.
iCal sync for everyoneEvery member subscribes to their show calendar in Apple Calendar, Google, or Outlook. Schedule changes propagate automatically.
Conflict detectionMember availability and linked external calendars (school sports, work) surface conflicts with orange warnings before you lock in an assignment.

Production Projects

Track every build from brief to strike.

Sets, costumes, props, sound design — each gets its own project with tasks, a materials list, a budget, and a messaging thread. Nothing falls through the cracks.

Action plans with target datesBreak each project into steps, assign owners, and set deadlines. Color-coded status keeps the whole team aligned without a standup meeting.
Materials & cost trackingAdd needed materials with estimated costs and purchase sources. Track actuals for your end-of-show expense report.
Project messaging threadsDedicated message threads per project — rich text, image attachments, and threaded replies. Photos can be promoted directly to the show gallery.

From "who's auditioning?" to curtain call.

Auditions Pipeline

Messaging & Announcements
Send targeted announcements to cast, crew, or specific groups. Manage project threads, shift messages, and event channels from one inbox.
Inventory & Equipment
