A look at the improvements that make finding material, sharing your work, and bringing people together easier.

ReadyCasting, taking shape

Meaningful milestones, newest first. Related improvements are collected into short highlights so you can see what has changed without following every small update.

  1. 2026
    Material

    Find the subject and feeling

    Explore reviewed material by themes such as Family and Identity, or feelings such as Grief and Hope. Combine the labels with your existing filters, and follow connected plays, authors, and performances for context.

  2. 2026
    Material

    Browse quickly, read when ready

    Compact previews make both Grid and List easier to browse. Expand saved text and play context without leaving your results; video players load when you choose to watch.

  3. 2026
    The growing library

    More speeches to explore

    Read 1,103 additional public-domain speeches across 38 plays, with script text also added to 26 existing entries. Edition credits connect passages to their sources; reviewed character details and clearly labeled estimated playing ranges make age and gender filters more useful.

  4. 2026
    Your workspace

    Pick up where you left off

    Your dashboard brings appointments, recent work, new Material, and useful improvements together. Member browsing adds useful actor overviews beside square headshots.

  5. 2026
    Production history

    Give a production its full team

    Save a private draft while you gather the city, year, companies, and directors. Published productions bring cast, creative team, crew, photos, and sources into one connected page.

  6. 2026
    Material

    More room for the words

    Monologue results and details put the character above the play and give the text room to breathe. Play and author pages bring summaries, works, and related records together.

  7. 2026
    Your profile

    Choose which credits to share

    Hide individual credits from your profile or keep them visible while excluding them from member search. Productions and Companies are now together in the account sidebar.

  8. 2026
    Production history

    Connect the people behind a production

    Link a credit to a completed production, claim your participation, and help document its people and sources. Shared history stands on its own; Projects remains your place to plan future work.

  9. 2026
    The growing library

    Find the context behind a role

    Sourced play summaries, author biographies, and character lists make Material more useful for preparing and documenting a production. Since September 20, new member-suggested entries need source checks and staff approval before joining the library.

  10. 2026
    Your profile

    Arrange your experience your way

    Reorder credits with drag handles or the keyboard, choose Grid or List on your profile, and open credit photos at full size. Compact account sections keep credits, skills, training, résumés, and videos easy to edit.

  11. 2026
    Collaboration

    Keep promising people together

    Save members to private boards and share a board with individuals or companies when you are ready. Photo-led browsing and combined filters help you find people for each role.

  12. 2026
    Search

    Keep a useful search close at hand

    Collapsible filters, removable selections, and saved sorting make it easier to narrow results without starting over. Material, Members, and Auditions use a consistent set of controls.

  13. 2026
    Casting

    From a play to an audition

    Link auditions and production plans to plays and characters, then add casting details or arrange appointment times. Share private work with individual members or your theatre and film communities.

  14. 2026
    Your profile

    A profile with an audience you choose

    Choose a personal profile address and decide whether members can discover you or visitors can open your public page. Your photos, experience, skills, and training help tell your story.

  15. 2026
    Community

    Keep the conversation going

    The lightbulb opens Ideas & Reports with a screenshot you can inspect or retake. Community tools provide a separate path for concerns, identity confirmation, and account reviews.

Looking ahead

Ideas under consideration, with no promised release dates. These are separate from the released milestones above.

Under consideration

  • More audition material — More credited public-domain material and useful connections between plays.
  • Review follow-up — More convenient staff case assignment and notifications as the community grows.
  • Celebrity dream casts — Exploring suitable sources and image permissions for hypothetical casts.
