Volunteer community theatres. Directors, stage managers, costume crews, house committees, and the parent who got handed a laptop and told they are box office.

What does Places cover?

Places is being built to cover the whole production, from auditions and costumes to rehearsals and the door.

Community theatre

Software for a volunteer community theatre

Planned production and ticketing software for volunteer community theatres.

Places is being built for the volunteer house. The people who stay late so the curtain can go up. Not a presenting-house Ticketmaster stack. Not a class-registration product that happens to sell a recital.

The plan is one organization, a season, productions on the board, and performances with a date and a door.

Reserved, general admission, and the night of

Most community theatres sell both. A reserved Saturday and a general-admission Sunday. A season ticket that has to land in the right seat. A walk-up who paid cash.

The door is part of the same sale. Will-call should not live on someone’s personal computer. The house committee should not become IT the week of opening.

The production is the product

Ticketing vendors sell the door. Places is being built for the work before the doors open: auditions, costumes, rehearsals, then the house.

That is the category difference. The cast roster is how a household connects to a ticket. It is proof of depth, not the headline.

Free to make it happen

Planned launch offer: tools are free; Places earns $1 per reserved-seat ticket; GA tickets are free for small events for a limited time; comps and free tickets are $0.

If the ticket page has gone down the week of the show, if a volunteer is still the box office, or if you are waiting on a payout after closing night, start with the ticket page, the volunteer at the table, and who holds the money.
