Parents and children

Stage Company™ lets a parent or guardian run things for a child, or stay alongside a child who has their own sign-in.

A child on your account

For a child under 13, or one without their own email. It's their name the company sees; the sign-in, the account and the notifications stay with you. A child's place is held by a parent or guardian aged 18 or over.

Joining: choose On behalf of my child (who does not hold an account) on the invitation.
Already in the show: My profile → Children on my account → ＋ Add a child to this production.
Their details are kept once, for every show they're in. Change them there with Edit.
The company sees your child's name, an "Under 18" label (at a school, "Student"), and that you answer for them.
Their calls arrive on your phone, named for them. Answer Going? for each child.

Two parents, one child

A child has one place in a show. The second parent joins as themselves — choose Me, then Parent or guardian as their group — and asks the account that holds the child's place to share notifications with them (below).

A child with their own sign-in, from 13

From 13, a child can have an account of their own. To move a child's place over: My profile → Children on my account → Give them their own sign-in, type their email and tap Send them the link. They have 14 days to open it, confirm their date of birth and tap Take my place. Their part, calls, costume and notes go with them. It's done show by show, and chats you had on their behalf stay with you.

Notification sharing

A member with their own sign-in can agree to copies of their notifications going to whoever looks after them — a parent, guardian, older sibling or chaperone.

Either of you starts it: My profile → Notification sharing → Set up sharing with someone. Choose the person, say who looks after whom, and tap Send request.
The other person taps Approve sharing.
An owner of the show signs it off.

You each choose what's shared: Schedule & calls, Memos, Rehearsal notes, Community sign-ups, Chat messages and Everything else. All but Chat messages start on, and each flows only while both of you have it on; turning one on later asks the other person first. Chat messages is only for a parent or guardian, never a chaperone: with it on, they can read your conversations in that show, and each conversation says so. Either of you can end it at any time with Stop sharing.

Removing a child from a show

My profile → Children on my account → Remove. Tick Also delete the details I gave… to clear their date of birth, medical note, emergency contact and the rest from that show; leave it unticked if they might come back. Their name stays on the show's records.
