Online Rehearsal Calendars
« on: Jul 26, 2011, 10:15 am »
Being an ASM for a community theater, I've been reading these forums for a while but have never posted.  I was offered a full stage management position, but wasn't able to take it because of my other job.

I've been particularly interested in the posts about stage management software; I've always thought that computers could really simplify our lives.  I know there are some other posts about software and there are a few tools on the market, but none of them really helped me personally.

I ended up trying my hand at creating an online tool for stage managers, and I thought that this community might be interested in it.  I know this post is borderline spammy, but I did get permission from moderators to post here and I think the tool could really help a lot of us out.  You can take a look at what I came up with at newbielink:http://stagemanagementsoftware.com [nonactive] and give it a try for free.  It lets you share rehearsal schedules, track attendance, and update cast and crew lists.

I'd LOVE to hear feedback from other stage managers if you have any suggestions on how to make the service better.

I'll definitely give the free-trial a go when I have my next show, but just out of curiosity what is the cost for someone like me, for example. I'm a college student stage manager. I'll be doing two shows next year one from September to October and one from January to February?

It looks like there's a 14-day free trial offer already listed on the website.  Since Joelroggenkamp was looking for feedback and suggestions perhaps he'd be willing to extend the trial period for one of your shows.  However, as his last login was a day after his first (and only) post I'm not sure how much of a response you'd get, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.

Yes, I can definitely extend the trial period so you can use it for college shows.  If you send me a quick note through the contact form on my website, I'll make sure your trial gets extended!

My next show isn't until the Fall. It'd probably be better to start my trial closer to that time. I'll definitely be in contact when that time comes!

As a student, I don't have the budget to buy the online software. I'd be interested in trying it out for the production I'm doing this upcoming semester at school. I'm doing a show that auditions later this month, rehearses from February to April, and then performances are in April.
If you're looking for feedback and would be willing to let me use a free trial, I would love the opportunity. I hope all goes well with the software regardless however!
