Build rehearsal schedules faster, automate around conflicts, and save hours of work.

Rehearsal Scheduler is built for stage managers and directors who need to shape rehearsal plans without spending hours untangling availability conflicts by hand. It can automatically build schedules, adjust around conflicts, and publish schedules that work for any cast.

What it helps you do

Built to remove the slowest parts of rehearsal planning instead of adding more admin overhead.

Build schedules with conflict handling already in the workflow instead of managing it manually in separate documents.
Give stage managers and directors a clearer picture of what can actually be rehearsed and when.
Publish a cleaner plan so the company sees something readable instead of a pile of revisions.

Automation that removes schedule guesswork

Let the scheduler do more of the heavy lifting when scenes, availability, and rehearsal constraints get complicated.

Conflict-aware planning

Handle the real pain point of rehearsal scheduling by planning around actor conflicts instead of patching them later.

Clear schedules for the room

Keep the final schedule legible and easy to act on for stage management, directors, cast, and crew.

For stage managers and directors

Spend less time wrestling the schedule

Bring production setup, scheduling, and publishing into one workspace instead of bouncing across spreadsheets, notes, and message threads.

Use the customizable scheduler to automatically reduce the burden of working around conflicts while still ending with a schedule you can read quickly and trust.

Simple drag and drop interface lets you fine-tune schedules easily while still respecting conflicts.

Why the company benefits

Clarity carries all the way through the production

The production homepage lets cast and crew quickly view published schedules and even see their own next rehearsal at a quick glance.

Easy calendar importing lets actors subscribe to the calendar feed and sync personalized rehearsal schedules to the calendar app of their choice.

Less confusion, fewer follow up questions, and less stress for the production team.

Easy to adjust, tweak, and override

Need to adjust? Drag and drop editing makes it easy to move scenes around in the schedule and you can tweak as much or as little as you like. Have a pesky open time slot left over? Let the scheduler suggest a scene that fits with the actors who are already called. Simply have to get a particular scene on the schedule no matter what? Override conflicts and excuse or ignore an actor's conflicts.

Custom scenes and parallel scheduling

Putting on a production requires balancing lots of spinning plates. Let Stagehand juggle with you. Create custom one-off scenes for costume fitting, fight choreography, or one-on-one work. Schedule these in parallel with your main rehearsal schedule and drop them in where they work for everyone.

Conflicts made easy

Actors can input their own conflicts for your production. A simple interface gives them the power to define when they are available across the whole production, up to a point. Stage managers can define a due date for all conflicts as well as define rehearsals where conflicts are not allowed or would require separate approval. If you need more control, the stage manager can enter conflicts for the actors on their own. No matter how you handle it, Stagehand's settings can fit your system.
