The app for theater groups from rehearsal to premiere
Plan rehearsals, performances and set building, see RSVPs in real time and track attendance automatically. For directors, actors and the board, without the group chat chaos.

- No feature upgrades needed

In short
Gumb is an app for theater groups and theater clubs. Directors plan read-throughs, scene rehearsals and dress rehearsals as events and mark with a star who is needed for a rehearsal. Cast members respond by the response deadline, the script sits as a file on the event, and jobs for performances such as box office, bar, makeup or set building become tasks right on the event.

FAQ: the app for theater clubs
How do I show who needs to come to a scene rehearsal?
With the star. It stands for a call-up for an event. Admins set it for everyone needed in the scene, and in the notification settings you can have only those people reminded.
Where do I store the script?
Right on the event or in the ensemble's folder. Files can be up to 50 MB each. Owners, admins and group leaders upload them, and in the chat every member can share files.
How do I cover box office, bar and cloakroom at every performance?
Create the jobs once as tasks and turn them on for every performance event. Members sign up themselves, or admins assign them.
Can I analyze rehearsals and performances separately?
Yes. With your own event types for read-through, scene rehearsal, dress rehearsal and performance you filter the attendance report and export it as an Excel file.
Can ensemble and crew plan separately?
Yes. Every group gets its own group scheduler, and group events are only visible to its members. Joint dress rehearsals sit in the calendar for everyone.
How do we vote on a new play?
With an event type called “Poll”. The answer options stand for the plays, and in the scheduler you see right away how people voted.
