You already have everything it needs.
A scene breakdown — pick a public-domain play or paste your own. Conflict sheets — photos of the paper ones, a Google Form export, or the emails that say “I can’t do Tuesdays.” Your rehearsal nights. That’s it.
Reads the conflicts for you.
Every sentence becomes a rule you confirm. Nothing is silently dropped; anything unclear is shown to you with the original words.
Schedules like a good stage manager.
Heavy scenes early and often. Nobody called to sit in the hall. Run-throughs at the end. Tech week is everyone.
Writes the call.
A plain who’s-called notice for every rehearsal, in your voice, with the not-called list if you want it.
When it can’t be done, it tells you why.
“Act 2 Scene 3 needs Maya and Jordan together, and they have no overlapping evening in your window.” Then three ways out. Better to know in week one than in week five.
This can’t be fully cast as scheduled
Act 2 Scene 3 needs Maya and Jordan together, and they have no overlapping rehearsal in your window.
- Add a rehearsal at a time they can both make.
- Ask whether Jordan’s “Wednesdays” could be a soft conflict.
- Split Act 2 Scene 3 into French scenes so smaller groups can work it.
For the season.
A cast portal where actors submit their own conflicts. One-click re-cuts when life happens. Call notices sent for you. Attendance, and a rehearsal report drafted at the end of the night. $24 a month or $199 a season for a company; $39 a month or $329 a season for a school or college program.

Not a casting tool, not ticketing, not a prompt book, and not a union-rules engine — it’s for community, school and college theatre. It schedules and it writes. The director still directs.
