What's Your Time Worth?

The value of Cast98's powerful automation tools is measurable. Show directors and stage managers will save hours of time usually spent completing tedious administrative tasks.

So imagine you were paid $8/hour (minimum wage in the U.S.), grab a napkin and do the math. What will you save?

Really Do The Math

How many hours do you spend...

Intaking and organizing audition forms?
Copying conflicts into a spreadsheet?
Copy and pasting phone numbers and email addresses?
