Build The Show

For theatre people, by theatre people.

COMMUNITY THEATRE.
MADE SIMPLE.

All your show chaos, finally in one place.

What is Build The Show?

Running a show is a lot.
We made it less.

Build The Show is built for community theatre, from the ground up. One place to post your audition, collect applications, manage your cast list, and keep everything organised so you can focus on the actual show.

Build your production

Create an organisation, add your show, and configure your audition in a few steps. No spreadsheets required.

Publish your audition

Your audition goes live with a public page performers can find, read, and apply from. No back-and-forth emails.

Manage your cast

Track every applicant from submitted to cast. Update statuses, leave notes, and close out the audition cleanly.

Who it's for

Built for the people who show up.

For the volunteer stage manager juggling three productions at once. For the performer who has done a hundred auditions and still fills out a paper form. For the director who has been running sign-in sheets since 1998. Build The Show is for all of you.
