Sound familiar?

The part nobody signed up for

A run is a hundred calls

Eight shows a week, rehearsals, put-ins, brush-ups — and someone has to confirm who's on for every single call.

Understudy and swing chaos

When a lead goes out, you need the cover confirmed and everyone notified now — not after a round of frantic texts.

1099 people, W-2 tools

Your contractors need offers, rates, and W-9s — not an HR system built for salaried employees.

Podium for theatre companies

Everything the call needs

Staff the whole run at once

Build the production, add every rehearsal and performance call, and send offers for roles and crew positions in one pass.

Understudies and swings on standby

Keep covers a tap away and send a fresh offer the moment someone goes out — with a record of who was called.

Pit and music staff, handled

Contract the pit by chair, manage per-chair sub lists, and track doubling and per-service pay alongside the cast.

Pay and paperwork through closing

Track contractor rates, collect W-9s, send pay confirmations, and export for 1099s when the run wraps.

A production is a hundred calls a week. Every one of them should confirm itself.

Questions

Good to know

Can Podium handle a full performance run, not just one date?

Yes. A production holds every rehearsal and performance call, and you staff all of them from one place — with each performer accepting their calls in a tap.

Does it manage understudies and swings?

Yes. Keep covers on standby and send a new offer instantly when someone goes out, with a full record of who was contacted.

Can we contract the pit orchestra too?

Absolutely — staff the pit by chair, keep per-chair sub lists, and track doubling and per-service pay alongside your cast and crew.
