Staje for Community Theater

Run the whole season. Keep more of the box office.

Tickets, volunteers, donations, program ads, auditions, and rehearsals in one place, built for theaters run by volunteers on weeknights.

Sound familiar?

One login for the tickets. Another for volunteers. A spreadsheet for everything else.

Most community theaters run on a ticketing site that takes a cut, a sign-up tool for ushers, a donation page, a shared drive, and a lot of group texts. Staje puts it all on one page your audience already visits: the production page.

A box office that keeps more of the house

Sell reserved or general-admission seats from your own production page. Patrons pick their seats on your venue map and check out as guests, with Apple Pay or Google Pay. Money goes straight to your bank account.

  • Platform fee from 2.5% on the free plan down to 1%
  • Comps, promo codes, waitlists, gifting, and exchanges
  • Season and flex passes for your loyal regulars (Season plan)
  • QR check-in at the door from any phone

Volunteers without the chasing

Post ushers, concessions, set build, and strike as positions with time slots. Volunteers sign up from a link with no account, and get confirmations, calendar invites, and a link to cancel.

  • Capacity per slot, so you never end up with 9 ushers and no bartender
  • Food sign-up mode for opening-night receptions and potlucks
  • Attendance tracking for volunteer-hour records

Donations and sponsors, built in

Run fundraisers, sponsorship drives, and ongoing donation campaigns with named giving levels. Donors give from your public page, right next to the ticket button.

  • Tiered giving levels with your own names and amounts
  • Fundraiser, sponsorship, and donation campaign types

Sell the program ads

Set up playbill, lobby, and digital ad placements and track local businesses as prospects. Advertisers upload their artwork through a portal, with no account needed and no email attachments to lose.

  • Prospect list with an outreach log your whole board can see
  • Artwork collected in one place, on deadline

On stage, too

Everything the production team needs, as well.

Open auditions

Community members sign up for audition slots online. Your panel scores on their phones, and Staje compiles one casting report.

Rehearsals around real lives

Schedules that sync to everyone’s calendar, automatic reminders, and attendance. Built for casts with day jobs.

Video Notes

Film the run, then give notes right on the video: circle the blocking, tag the actor, drop a note at the moment. Actors see your direction when they watch at home, the video stopping at each note.

Run Lines

Actors rehearse lines with a scene partner that reads every other part aloud and checks theirs. It works on the commute or at the kitchen table.

Built for a season

Your theater, not just this show.

Staje is organized around your theater. Every production, volunteer, donor, and actor builds on the last, so next season starts where this one left off.

  • Multiple productions in one account. Your board, staff, and regulars carry over from show to show
  • Roles for producers, directors, stage managers, and board members
  • A public troupe page with your season, cast lists, and how to get involved
  • iOS and Android apps with full admin access, so you can run the box office from the lobby
  • A marketplace to rent or sell costumes, props, and set pieces with other theaters

Your next show is the best time to switch

Start free. Upgrade when your season grows.

The Community plan includes ticketing, volunteers, auditions, Run Lines, and the mobile apps, with no credit card. Moving from another ticketing platform? Tell us about your venue, and we’ll help you get set up.
