About Tonight’s Call

Every production already has three things: a scene breakdown, a stack of conflict sheets in whatever shape they arrived, and the nights you can rehearse. Tonight’s Call turns those into a plan that calls only the people each scene needs, respects every conflict, works the heavy scenes early and often, and tells you plainly when a scene can’t be fully cast and why. Then it drafts the nightly who’s-called notice.

Who it’s for

Stage managers, directors and drama teachers in community theatre, high schools and colleges — volunteer, student or teacher, on a phone and a laptop. If your schedule lives in a spreadsheet and your conflicts live in your inbox, it’s for you.

What it isn’t

It isn’t a casting tool, ticketing, a prompt book or a union-rules engine. Tonight’s Call doesn’t apply Actors’ Equity or other collective-agreement rules and is intended for non-union productions. The software schedules and writes. The director still directs.

How the pieces work

The schedule itself comes from a deterministic solver — the same inputs give the same plan, and it never calls anyone into a hard conflict. A language model reads messy conflict text and drafts notices, and everything it reads is shown back to you with the original words so you can check it.
