Statistics only — no advertising, and we never sell your data. It shows us which parts of Stageify work and which do not.
Either answer is fine — the whole site works exactly the same.
Stageify is also an app for managing your whole production process
Theatre groups use it to run their production together: creatives, cast, band and crew, from the first rehearsal to the last show.
Plan on a big screen, look things up on your phone. Stageify works on desktop, tablet, iPhone and Android: right in the browser, or installed like an app.
Pick the scene to rehearse and only the people in it are called. Everyone gets just their own rehearsals in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook on their phone, and changes appear by themselves.
Film the rehearsal with a phone. Notes sit on the timecode, and everyone sees only their own. That way, nobody has to search the whole recording to know what to work on.
Upload a song once. Stageify splits it into vocals and music, and it plays offline too. Learn your part with the vocals, then sing along to the music alone, wherever you are.
Stageify is in early access: your whole first production is free.
