Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A production workspace for amateur and community theatre that turns a licensed script and volunteer availability grid into sides, rehearsal calls, prop lists, and budget tracking.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The proposed workflow begins with a script the company has already licensed, then organizes it into rehearsal units, cues, characters, entrances, exits, and named props. A displayed sample call sheet lists units 4–9, called and uncalled participants, props, and a note about a revised side after a speech cut. The site says actors’ line-learning progress would be tracked by unit, while also acknowledging that the product remains under construction.
