Young performers live on their phones - so meet them there. Limelight gives youth theatre leaders the comms reach of a group chat, with the structure of a properly run company. And the schedule actually reaches the right phone, on time.
Push reminders ahead of every session land on the phone in the rucksack. The schedule updates live across the company, so the whole group sees the same plan.
Cast can loop backing tracks at half-speed, mark up their script privately, and download everything for the bus home. The bedroom run-through is now a productive one.
One-week run, six rehearsals, opening night Friday. Set up the entire show on Sunday afternoon, run it on the app all week, archive it next Monday.
Lives on the home screen alongside TikTok, Spotify and Snapchat. Notifications behave the same way. The format your cast already gets along with.
Paste the cast list, hit go. The first push reminder goes out the same afternoon. Limelight does not stand between you and rehearsing.
All leader-to-cast comms run through the show's chat, server-logged and inside the group's account. Leaders keep their personal numbers personal.
Move a rehearsal, the change reaches every cast member instantly. The version in their pocket is always the current one.
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. Push reminders alone have saved me a hundred phone calls.
Run your next showcase on Limelight. Free for cast, free trial for leaders, sane pricing if you stay.
