Why directors choose Callboard

Built for the way theatre actually works

Community theatre runs on goodwill, late nights, and group texts. Callboard replaces the chaos with something that actually works for everyone involved.


Rehearsal scheduling that everyone can see
Build your full rehearsal schedule once. Every cast member, parent, and crew member sees exactly what they need to see filtered to their role. No more "which rehearsal am I called for?" texts.
Cast, crew, and parents one platform
Invite your entire production into a single place. Actors see their scenes and schedule. Parents track attendance and get directions. Crew access the content they need. Everyone has exactly the right view.
A home for every script, score, and note
Upload scripts, audio tracks, blocking videos, costume references, and director notes. Attach them to specific rehearsals so cast always know what to prepare. No more hunting through email chains.
Attendance tracking that does the math
Mark attendance after each rehearsal and let Callboard calculate percentages automatically. Spot who's falling behind before opening night not the week of.
A full crew, with the right access
Invite your Stage Manager, Musical Director, Choreographer, and more. Each person gets access configured for their role the MD sees scores, the costume designer sees visual references. You control what everyone sees.
Auditions, casting, and promotions built in
Share a public audition link, let people book slots, and run your casting board. When you publish the cast list, roles update automatically auditionees become actors with a single click.
Available on iOS

In everyone's pocket. Not just yours.

The Callboard iOS app puts rehearsal schedules, call times, scene assignments, and content in the hands of your entire cast, parents, and crew — without anyone needing a laptop.

  • Cast see their call times, scenes, and RSVP status the moment you publish.
  • Parents track upcoming rehearsals and get one-tap directions to the venue.
  • Directors mark attendance at rehearsal and manage the show — no desktop required.
