Rotas for theatre companies without the group chat. Describe your shifts, roles and people, and Mythex builds a scheduling app where the team sees who works when.
Who it's for
Theatre companies with shift workers, part-timers, or a rota that changes every week.
What you can build
- A week view of who is on, by role
- Availability and time-off requests from staff
- Shift swaps that need a manager's approval
- Hours totalled per person for payroll
- Cover for busy periods at your theatre company
How theatre companies work
A small theater company runs in production cycles: auditions, six to ten weeks of rehearsals in the evenings and on weekends, a tech week, then a run of performances. Many cast and crew hold day jobs, so rehearsal calls are built around availability. Audiences come from a mailing list, local press and word of mouth, and tickets are sold through a box office system, at the door or both. Youth theater and workshops bring steady term-time income. Software helps by tying rehearsal calls, ticketing and patron lists together.
What staff scheduling app for Theatre Companies has to handle
- Rehearsal calls must be built from each cast member's availability.
- Scene breakdowns show which actors are needed at each session.
- Crew roles like stage management, lighting and front of house need their own rota.
- Tech week and dress rehearsals should be marked as full-company calls.
A tip for theatre companies
Collect every cast member's conflicts for the whole rehearsal period before the first read-through. Scheduling scenes around known gaps from the start is far easier than rearranging calls week by week.
A prompt to start from
Build a staff scheduling app for a theatre company. Keep a list of staff with their role and contact details. Let a manager create shifts on a week calendar, assign people, and see hours per person. Let staff log in to see their own shifts, set availability, request time off and ask to swap a shift, with manager approval. Send a notification when the rota changes. Use a database and add login with manager and staff roles.
Questions
How do theater companies schedule rehearsals around day jobs?
They collect availability up front and schedule scenes only with the actors needed. A shared schedule that each person can check reduces confusion.
Can staff see it on their phones?
Yes. The published app is a normal web app on its own URL, so the team opens it in a browser and can add it to a home screen. Ask for a phone-first layout and the week view is built for that.
Can it total the hours?
Ask for hours per person per week and it is calculated from the shifts, with a CSV export for whoever runs payroll.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe what you want in plain language and Mythex writes the code, shows a live preview, and lets you change things by chatting. The code editor and terminal are there if you ever want them.
Do I have to explain my business every time?
No. Mythex remembers who you are and how you work across every project, and follows the standing notes you set for a project, so you are not re-briefing it in each new chat. You can read, edit or switch all of it off.
How much does it cost?
There is a Free plan with daily credits, enough to build and publish a first version. Pro is $25/month and adds full code editing, GitHub export, custom domains, and credit top-ups.
