Your calls, and "Going?"

On Stage Company™, a call is the time you're needed at a rehearsal, a tech, a dress or a show. Your calls are on the Schedule — My calls shows only yours — and your next one is on Today.

How you hear about a call

  • When the production team sends the schedule, you get "You're called" on your phone and in the app.
  • If your call time changes, you're no longer needed, or a session is cancelled, you're told on your phone and by email.
  • While the team is still drafting, nothing reaches you. You hear once they send it.
  • Calls always come through; they can't be switched off.

Going?

Under each call, tap Going?, then ✓ Going. Can't come? Tap 🙅 Can't make it, say in a few words why, and tap Send apologies. The production team is told straight away. Changed your mind? Tap I can come after all.

  • Everyone in the company can see who's going and who has sent apologies. Your reason is seen only by stage management, the producer, director and production manager, anyone with admin access, whoever leads that call (and the music staff, if you play in the pit) and your own family.
  • If your call time moves, your "Going" is cleared and you're asked again. Apologies stay, and you're asked whether the new time works.
  • Once a session is over, or called off, its Going? closes, and your answer stays as it was.
  • Parents answer for each child.

Away dates

Know you'll be away? Schedule → 🗓 My away dates → Add away dates. Each show's production team approves its own copy, and you hear the moment they do. Once approved, you can't be called on your own on those days. A call for a whole group or scene still includes you, and the production team sees you're away.

Reminders

My profile → Reminders. Keep the team's reminders on or off, and add your own: 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 or 24 hours before, up to two. They come in the app and on your phone, up to 15 minutes after the time you choose. None come for a cancelled session, a call you've said you can't make, or days you're approved away.

In your own calendar

Schedule → 📅 Add my calls to my calendar. Subscribe in Google or Apple Calendar and your calls appear at your own call times, with every performance. Changes show the next time your calendar checks — usually within a few hours, though Google Calendar can take up to a day. The link is yours, so don't share it; if you have, tap Reset this link.

Show calls (productions on Pro)

At show time, stage management can send the countdown to your phone — "30 minutes until show time", the beginners' call, the interval. Show calls come only as phone notifications, and only once stage management starts the countdown. Turn them on or off in My profile → What reaches your phone → Show calls. In the show as a parent? Your own place starts with show calls off; your child's still come through, named for them.
