Calls & calendar

Schedule rehearsal calls, repeat them with templates, and keep the whole company looking at the same calendar.

Two calendars, one schedule

Scheduling in Proscene lives in two places that always agree with each other. Each production has its own Rehearsal Schedule tab, which is where the stage management team plans calls for that show. And every person in the workspace has a personal Calendar in the left navigation, which gathers the calls from every production they belong to into one view.

You schedule once, on the production. The call then shows up on the production calendar, on each member's personal calendar, and on the dashboard as the next call, with a live countdown. There is no separate publish step and nothing to sync.

What a call is

A call is one scheduled block of rehearsal: a date, an optional start and end time, a location, and the working details a company actually needs on the callboard. Those details are a general focus (say, Act II choreography), specific scenes or numbers, who is called, a line-by-line schedule breakdown, and free-form notes.

You do not have to fill all of that in at once. A common rhythm is to block out dates and times weeks ahead, then fill in scenes and cast a day or two before each call. Proscene works out each call's status on its own: it shows as upcoming until the start time, live during the call window, and past afterward.

Who can schedule

Creating, editing, and deleting calls, plus templates and repeating schedules, is limited to the production staff roles: admin, producer, director, choreographer, creative, and stage manager. Cast and crew see the full calendar and every call's details, and can confirm they will be there, but they cannot change the schedule.
