Resource Spotlight: Virtual Stage Management

Virtual Stage Management is a personal, interactive website that combines show management, artist accessibility and social networking. Until now, stage managers, directors and venues have had to rely on photocopied calendars, emails, and handwritten forms to manage and schedule rehearsals, performance spaces, cast bios and more - all the paperwork that has to be done to organize a production. With Virtual Stage Management, none of this is necessary anymore. Scheduling rehearsal for a scene or tech rehearsal is incredibly simple. You just place it on the calendar, and all company members who are needed for that event receive an email or text message with their call time. Company members can login and enter their scheduling conflicts, which you can choose to accept or ignore. You can schedule multiple rehearsals at the same time in different spaces, and you'll be alerted if you are trying to schedule the same person in two places.
