Rehearsals, scripts, backing tracks and cast chat. Every voice, every page and every call, in one place. From the first read-through to opening night.
Limelight is the app your company already wishes it had. Built for directors, teachers and cast who are tired of threaded emails, lost scripts and group chats that forgot to send the call sheet. Everything your show needs, tied neatly together and always in the right pocket.
Rehearsal schedules, call sheets and reminders. Cast get pushed notifications before every call, so nobody's the last one through the door. Changes sync instantly across the company.
See how it worksScripts, programme notes and sheet music, uploaded once and shared with the right cast. Read on phone, tablet or printed out. Annotate privately or pass a note to the director.
See how it worksOriginal recordings, backing tracks and vocal warm-ups. Proper background playback, so students can rehearse with their earphones in on the bus home. No advert breaks, no algorithm, just the music.
See how it worksDirect messages and a per-show whole-cast channel, organised by production rather than by whoever started the WhatsApp first. Share photos from costume fittings, post the call sheet, or just remind your ensemble to wear black tonight.
See how it worksWhatsApp, email, Facebook Messenger, the half-dozen group chats your show has somehow sprouted - one channel quietly replaces all of them. Every message between teachers, leaders and cast is logged, GDPR-compliant by default, and fully auditable. If anything ever needs looking at, there's a clean record. Safeguarding leads sleep easier; everyone else just gets on with the show.
Read the safeguarding briefFrom Year 7 musical theatre club to the annual am dram season, Limelight meets your company where it is. No long onboarding, no training day, no IT department required.
A handful of directors, teachers and chairs who let us put a microphone in front of them after opening night.
We replaced six WhatsApp groups, a shared Dropbox and a paper noticeboard. Our last show was the calmest we've had in years.
Our 14-year-old leads were on it within five minutes. Our 73-year-old chair took an afternoon. Both are now religious users.
Cast turn up. They turn up to the right place, at the right time, wearing the right thing. That used to be three separate battles.
Limelight is available now on the App Store and Google Play. Free for students, school subscription for teachers.
