Thanks for your replies!
$29.00 for the most basic package from
virtualcallboard.com isn't bad at all. Plus a 1 month trial period - its definately something to keep in mind for the future.
If you don't care about password protection and essentially want to post a rehearsal calendar and you need it free, then go this route.
If the director wants to go the Google Sites (or maybe Wordpress -- Thanks BayAreaSM!), I am thinking that I will create a calendar and blog to post updates that don't require a password to view, and then have a section that requires a password for contact sheets, and other sensitive information.
If you're interested, I can give you a dummy login with limited viewing (that blocks contact info, union contract and casting) but you can at least see other options for downloading and viewing of schedules. I use my site for my company dancers as well as school students (and their parents) when they are involved in productions.
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, that would be great!
I'm not too familiar with WordPress, however it may be something to consider if the director likes that plan.
And the dummy login is a
great idea!! I didn't even think of that!
Thank you SOOO much for your help and speedy replies. I have a production meeting tomorrow afternoon, and I'll let you know the results, and share the site with you after a decision has been made and its complete!
