WHY GREEN ROOM
One open production and unlimited cast and crew on Free. Scheduling, announcements, chat, and rehearsal materials are included. Nobody needs a paid seat to join the show.
Use the web, iPhone, iPad, or Android. Keep role-aware calls, department conversations, direct messages, and announcement read receipts close at hand.
Practice tracks, scenes, documents, galleries, and an offline Line Runner give the company a place to prepare before the next call.
Pro is $29/month per organization and adds multiple open productions, shared budgets, expense review, and inventory with printable, scannable QR labels.
PLAN THE NEXT CALL
Green Room Pro connects availability submissions to the people actually called, so managers can review overlaps before saving the rehearsal.
See submitted conflicts, distinguish missing availability from a clear calendar, and make a deliberate decision when a call overlaps.
Cast and crew enter one-time, date-range, all-day, or weekly conflicts, or explicitly confirm they have no conflicts. Missing submissions remain unknown.
Directors and stage managers review company availability in day and week views. Conflict entries show Added and Last edited dates so changes are clear.
Creating and editing an event checks current conflicts against its selected groups and people. Recurring calls check every selected date.
An overlap flags the affected people before saving. Managers can cancel or explicitly choose Schedule anyway. Members keep control of their own entries.

Age-aware paths support teens aged 13–17 and a parent communicating on behalf of an under-13 child. Open signup asks adults to confirm they are 18 or older.
Member and guardian acceptance is required before flagged direct-message content is shared. Designated teen accounts cannot use direct messages while guardian setup is incomplete.
Automated screening reviews eligible direct messages, including edited text. Flagged content can generate a linked guardian alert for review.
The guardian view shows flagged messages and review status, rather than a full conversation transcript. Access is scoped to the linked guardian.
Available on iOS and Android. Only individual direct-message text is sent to a third-party service for safety classification; flagged text is shared only with the linked guardian, not as a full conversation. Checks can miss concerns or flag harmless text. Guardian review supports, but does not replace, your organization’s safeguarding practices. Read our privacy policy.
