Callboard brings your cast, crew, and parents together schedules, content, communication, and casting, all under one roof. Less email. More theatre.
Free for directors to start. Cast and parents always free.
Community theatre runs on goodwill, late nights, and group texts. Callboard replaces the chaos with something that actually works for everyone involved.
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.
Callboard is free to start and free for everyone you invite. A subscription unlocks the tools that serious productions need.
