👥
Smart Contacts
Company, Cast, Production Team, Crew — organized by distribution group so the right people get the right reports.
🎨
Per-Production Branding
Every show gets its own look. Upload show artwork, pick your accent color, choose your font. The report looks like your production.
✉️
Replies Go to the Stage Manager
Reports are sent from your name. Replies come back to you — or your whole stage manager team. Not to some generic address.
📬
Department Digest
Each department head gets an email with only their department's notes from the week. A focused punch list, no full report required. Pull a digest for any date range before production meetings, tech, or whenever you need a quick department-by-department summary.
🗓
Rehearsal Calendar
Import your rehearsal schedule and see every block laid out by day: who's called, what's being worked, where conflicts land. Generate a daily call from any calendar day with one click.
📣
Company Announcements
Send a quick email blast to the whole company or specific groups — cast, production team, crew, or admin staff — without it being a full report. Perfect for reminders, schedule changes, and anything that needs to get out fast.
✍️
Line Notes
Run a line notes session directly from the parsed script. Tap any line to log a note: called, jumped, paraphrased, dropped. Send each actor their own personalized report. No paper required.
✅
Virtual Sign-In Sheet
No more clipboard at the door. Your daily call includes a personalized sign-in link for each company member. They tap it, their name is pre-selected, they sign in. You see who's in the building in real time.
🚪
Company Portal
Your cast and production team get their own dashboard. Daily calls, announcements, reports, sign-in links and production files all in one place. They register once and everything is there waiting for them.
📩
Confirmation Requests
For the announcements that really matter: cancelled rehearsals, schedule changes, anything urgent. Request confirmation from your cast and see in real time who got the message and who still needs a nudge.
