Theatre Guides: For Theatres
While these guides are primarily intended for Community Theatres seeking to have guides to help run and grow their Community Theatre, they are also relevant for the individual: someone who wants to be a Stage Manager at their local theatre, someone who wants to start an improv troupe.
A complete stage management system for community theatre: 41 pages covering every phase from pre-production to strike, plus 18 ready-to-print documents (contact sheets, calling scripts, show reports, and more) so you stop rebuilding paperwork every show. Get more details.
Inside, you’ll find where improv came from, why it works, how it sharpens actors, and how the same skills show up in job interviews, tough conversations, and everyday life. Every game gets the same treatment: what it is, how it’s played, what actors learn, and advice on starting your own troupe. Get more details.
A complete audition system for community theatre: 12 pages covering the full process from posting the call to casting, plus 4 ready-to-print forms (audition information sheet, conflict and availability calendar, director’s scoring sheet, and callback tracker) so you’re never rebuilding paperwork before audition weekend. Get more details.
