Announcements and messages
How your theater keeps you posted, and how to reach people.

- The bell at the top of the page counts what’s new: being added to a show, called for an event, a schedule change, a new announcement, and more.
- Click a notification to go straight to it.
- To clear the count, click the check mark at the top of the list (Mark all as read).
Read announcements
- Click Announcements in the menu to see everything posted to you.
- If an announcement has an I have read this button, click it. Whoever posted it, and your theater’s owners and admins, can see who has confirmed.
Send someone a message
- Click Messages in the menu, then New message.
- Search for the person and click Message next to their name. You can message anyone in your theater.
- Type in Write a message… and click Send.
- To like a message, click the heart under it, next to the time. On a computer, point at a heart to see who liked it.
Group chats
Your group chats are listed under Channels at the top of Messages: one for each show you’re on, crew chat if you’re on crew, and Board or Staff if you hold that role. You’re added automatically. A finished show’s chat is under Show archived.
The speech bubble next to the bell opens your conversations without leaving the page you’re on.
Write to the board, staff or admins
- In Messages, click Message a group.
- Under Who should get this?, pick the group, write your message, and click Send.
- The reply comes back to you as a message.
Who reads it
Everyone who holds that role. A message to the board or staff can also be read by your theater’s owners and admins.
