Two actors in rehearsal on a bare stage, one seated on a bench and one leaning in to speak, with a costume rack behind them.

Thankyou, five!

You have a five-minute break. Are you keeping up?

Type now, sort later

Rehearsal doesn't happen in order, and it doesn't stay on one topic. Why jump around an ancient document file? Write your notes in the rehearsal order, with all its holds, line calls, backtracks, and rewinds. After rehearsal simply drop them into our customizable templates. We want you to spend as little time using our software as possible so you can work on the show. After all, you're not in theatre because you like typing on the computer.

Built for live theatre

You can always fiddle around with a cloud drive meant for business. But theatre isn't just business; it's art, too. So why use a solution built for business alone? You need one place for scripts, lighting plots, cue lists, meeting notes, director's statements, conflict calendars, and everything else. Your e-mail inbox isn't that place. This is.

Send in one click

Email lists, contact books, and spreadsheets all do about half of what you want. What if that was just one list of everyone in your production, grouped by team? What if you could send rehearsal reports to everyone in one click, each customized to highlight what each team needs to know? What if you didn't have to fiddle around with sharing dialogues every time you wanted to send just one document?

For too long, technology has cost just as much time as it has saved. If you've replaced sorting through physical folders with browsing through virtual folders, has anything really changed? The people programming the software are not the people who use it, and it shows. They don't know what it's like to sit in the dark while the light booth reprograms a sequence, trying to rewrite your cue calls during cue-to-cue.

A stack of four ringless binders, each stuffed with paper.

Not so here. The very designers and programmers of this software have designed and redesigned every aspect of Thank You, Five! to address a problem from an actual rehearsal. After endless frustration with every available solution, we decided to take matters into our own hands and make a digital call board and stage management suite from end-to-end.

Thank You, Five! doesn't just do one thing. It takes your notes, keeps your templates, sorts your line notes, highlights your conflicts, stores your documents, groups your teams, sends your reminders, and emails your rehearsal reports. It knows who's in your production. It knows who needs to see what. It knows how to make your rehearsal smoother.

What's the catch? Well, there's no AI assistant, for starters. It can't memorize your lines for you. It can't make artistic decisions, and it won't call hold during tech week. It might give your ASM a crossword puzzle addiction, now that their time has been freed from note-taking and paper-shuffling. We can't guarantee Thank You, Five! will clarify your artistic vision, but it will make your technology work for you, not against you.
