Making My Job (and yours) Easier
GreenRoom was born out of necessity and personal experience.
I’ve been managing the website and playbill content for a century-old community theatre for over twenty years. We do a half-dozen or more shows per season, and every time we have the same bio-collection hassles: chasing staff and actors down, prodding people past the deadline, and keeping producers or stage managers informed about whose bio is still missing. Once the bios are in, I still have the time-consuming project of proofing, alphabetizing, and formatting everything before it goes to print. It takes everyone’s focus away from their real work, which is getting a show on the stage.
I built GreenRoom because I wanted to make my own job easier. It automates all of the nagging, gives the production team anytime visibility into who has and hasn’t submitted their bio, and exports with the basic formatting and organization ready for my layout. I even added some bonus tools like displaying the bios right on the show page in the site as they come in.
Having seen how much time it saved me, I’m sharing it with the rest of the theatre community, because I know I’m not the only one who has been doing this the hard way!
