Students & adult performers
Auditions, casting decisions, rehearsals, resources and a history of productions in one place.
BEHIND EVERY GREAT PRODUCTION
One connected home for the whole theatre.
Auditions, casting, family calendars, rehearsal videos, volunteer work, safety, playbills and more. Connect helps everyone involved in a production spend less time hunting for information and more time making theatre.
Built for everyone who makes the show happen.
Parents & guardians
Family schedules, forms, safe communication and support for more than one participating child.
Staff & volunteers
Tools for coordinating people, safety, schedules, operations and the work audiences never see.
THE BIG PICTURE
From first audition to final curtain.
Here's how the pieces fit together over the life of a show.
- 01
The audition is announced
Families and performers discover an upcoming show and sign up when registration opens.
- 02
The company takes shape
The creative team reviews auditions, holds callbacks and sends role offers. Accepted performers become part of the production roster.
- 03
Rehearsals get underway
Participants find schedules and approved rehearsal resources, while families complete the forms they need.
- 04
Everyone pulls together
Parents coordinate pickups, volunteers lend a hand and staff manage attendance, communication and production tasks.
- 05
It's opening night
Audience members explore a published digital Playbill with cast credits, biographies and sponsors.
- 06
The story lives on
After closing night, the team can archive the show while keeping its history and applicable performer credits.
01 / CONNECT CAPABILITIES
Auditions, casting & company rosters
A connected journey from first interest to joining the company.
Public audition and interest registration
Publish opportunities that visitors can discover and register for without first joining a production.
Registration review and casting intake
Review registrations, bring audition participants into the casting workflow, and manage callback and casting information.
Roles, offers and acceptance
Build cast and crew rosters, communicate role offers, and record responses within the production process.
Manual participants
Include a performer or crew member who does not have a Connect account yet, without leaving them out of the roster or program.
Callbacks and casting conversations
Keep the steps between an audition, callbacks and an offer connected, so teams can see where each participant stands.
Production people and public casting
Maintain the production roster separately from what the organization deliberately publishes for public viewing.
02 / CONNECT CAPABILITIES
Accounts, roles & performer profiles
Different people need different access. Connect recognizes those distinctions.
Students and adult performers
Student accounts participate in an age-aware, family-linked experience. Adult performer accounts can participate independently without being treated as children.
Parents, guardians and caregivers
Authorized family relationships connect adults to the children they support. Caregiver access is distinct from full parent or guardian authority.
Production staff and administrators
Staff work in assigned production contexts; administrators have broader operational and account-management responsibilities.
Role-aware access
A person may have multiple responsibilities. Access is based on their roles, active relationships and applicable production permissions, not a single universal member view.
Profiles and acting history
Keep headshots, biographies and production credits together, including a performer résumé with clearly identified theatre credits and outside experience.
Growing with the company
Support the different needs of student and adult performers without giving every account the same access to family or staff information.
03 / CONNECT CAPABILITIES
Family coordination & safeguarding
Families can follow the theatre experience without receiving access they should not have.
Family dashboard and combined schedules
Parents and guardians can view relevant commitments for multiple linked children together.
Family relationships and delegated care
Manage relationships between students, parents, guardians and authorized caregivers with appropriate visibility boundaries.
Authorized pickup and day-of logistics
See who is permitted to collect a child, manage pickup permissions and support arrival and departure on busy production days.
One family, multiple productions
See commitments across children and shows instead of checking a separate calendar for every participant.
Caregiver schedules
Give an authorized caregiver the practical schedule information needed to help, without automatically granting full guardian permissions.
Forms, consents and follow-up
Distribute and collect production and family forms, track completion, and give staff a clearer view of outstanding items.
Safeguarded communication
Apply role- and relationship-aware access to conversations involving students, including controls when family relationships change.
04 / CONNECT CAPABILITIES
Safeguarding & incident management
Sensitive situations need a controlled process, not an ordinary group chat.
Incident and safeguarding cases
Authorized staff can document and manage sensitive matters in dedicated, restricted workflows.
External statement requests
Invite someone outside the platform to provide a statement through a private, time-limited request link without revealing the underlying case.
Controlled case access
Separate sensitive records from regular production communications and restrict who may view or handle them.
Review and case history
Keep a record of decisions, statements and follow-up so authorized staff can understand what happened and what still needs attention.
Confidentiality by design
Sensitive case material is not placed on public production pages or ordinary member dashboards.
05 / CONNECT CAPABILITIES
Calendars, rehearsals & attendance
Turn scattered event information into a clearer picture of what happens next.
Production calendar and scheduling
Organize rehearsal, performance and other production events in a shared scheduling workspace.
Calendar file imports
Bring in events from a standard .ics calendar file rather than entering every rehearsal or event again.

Personal and family schedule views
Show members their relevant production commitments and provide combined views for connected families.

Notifications and preferences
Provide notification controls and supporting delivery workflows so members can follow important activity.
07 / CONNECT CAPABILITIES
Video library & production resources
One place for learning materials and show resources, without making every upload public.
Rehearsal video library
Organize and view rehearsal video resources in production-aware libraries.
Controlled access and archived media
Control who can view videos, with archived-media handling separate from normal active access.
Production files and shared materials
Keep documents and other practical production resources within the appropriate workspace.
Member-focused organization
Give people access to the material for their productions rather than exposing one enormous, public collection.
Video links in conversations
Share links to approved videos in the places members already communicate, while keeping viewing permissions in place.

Completion tracking
Let authorized staff see which responses are outstanding and follow up on the right people.
Permission-sensitive information
Keep responses and private details within the access rules that apply to them.
