For community theatre

The whole hall, in the same headspace.

Sixth-formers, retirees and everyone in between. Church halls one week, civic centres the next. Limelight is the quiet stage manager keeping a mixed-age volunteer company on the same page - even when the venue keeps changing.

What community theatre groups use it for.

No. 01

Cross-generational casts

Eighteen-year-olds and seventy-year-olds in the same chorus. The teenagers get push notifications, the seniors get plain-English schedules. Same show, both happy.

No. 02

Borrowed venues

Church hall on Tuesdays, scout hut on Thursdays, civic centre for tech week. Each rehearsal carries its own venue name, address and a tap-to-navigate map link.

No. 03

Fundraising runs

One-off charity nights, summer fetes, community celebrations. Spin up a show, run it for a fortnight, archive it cleanly. No subscription dragging on after the curtain falls.

Why it works for community theatre.

Half our cast don't text and the other half don't read email.

In-app pushes that don't need a separate number.

Notifications arrive in the app, where everyone in the cast already has an account. No "what's your number?" at the audition. No paper-noticeboard backup.

We run from a different venue every season - sometimes every rehearsal.

Each rehearsal carries its own venue.

Venue name, address and a tap-to-navigate map link, attached to each rehearsal slot. Cast tap the slot and see where they're going. Extra notes go in the description field.

Volunteers have day jobs - we can't run a live-chat culture.

Async-friendly, no read-receipt anxiety.

Messages get answered in the evening when people are home. Pinned announcements ensure nothing important gets lost. Nobody owes anyone a reply within ten minutes.

Treasurer wants invoices, not Stripe links.

Annual invoicing, charity discounts.

We invoice on a 30-day window, paid by bank transfer or BACS. Significant discount for registered charities and constituted community groups.

★★★★★
We put on four shows in four different halls this year. Each rehearsal carried its own venue address and map; nobody turned up to the wrong building. That alone is a community theatre first.
