Carver Theatre

For amateur theatre — production teams and actors

Pocket Backstage

From audition shout-out to opening night — one shared backstage for your theatre's casting, cast and crew.

Production teams run auditions, manage the committee, offer roles, share scripts and announce the cast. Actors keep one polished profile, register interest in a tap and track every play they're in.

For production teams

Run the production

  • Create plays, share an audition link, manage the play committee and nominate a director.
  • Schedule auditions, read-throughs and rehearsals; invite by submitter, shortlist, cast or role.
  • Browse a directory of discoverable actors and email them from the app (BCC, teammates copied).
  • Upload scripts (PDF/DOCX) and let AI suggest the cast list.
  • Offer-based casting with accept / decline / expiry, then announce the cast in one click.
  • Live play status (Auditioning → Closed) auto-derives from your events and dates.

For actors

Your stage door

  • One reusable profile with up to four photos and a primary headshot.
  • Register interest in plays with a single tap; track them on your stage door.
  • Get role offers, accept or decline, and respond to event invitations (read-throughs, rehearsals, mop-ups).
  • Download scripts shared with you for plays you're cast in or interested in.
  • Control whether production teams can discover you, any time.
