- /guides
Index of published community-theatre operations guides.
- /guides/how-community-theatre-sells-tickets
Name the show, date the first night, put seats on a page, and share the link. That is the whole ticket job for a volunteer house.
- /guides/reserved-or-open-seating
A volunteer house picks the seating it can actually run on opening night. Assigned seats if you know the rows. Open seating if you do not.
- /guides/ticket-page-down-week-of
The ticket link goes down, or sales close, right when the house needs it. The door becomes a laptop and a spreadsheet.
- /guides/volunteer-box-office
A parent, a laptop, and a will-call list on someone’s personal computer. That is still the box office at a lot of volunteer houses.
- /guides/what-community-theatre-tickets-cost
Volunteer houses ask what tickets cost to sell, and whether cheap means a monthly fee or a cut of the door. Places charges nothing until a reserved seat sells, then one dollar.
- /guides/who-holds-the-ticket-money
Some platforms pay you after closing night. Some hold the money. Some never touch it. Before you argue about fees, ask who has your ticket money and what day it reaches your bank.
- /stats/community-theatre-2026
Sourced 2026 figures for volunteer community theatre. How many houses, what they spend, how many volunteers they run on, whether audiences came back, and what fees take from a $25 seat.
- /compare
Places vs Ludus, ThunderTix, and On The Stage. $1 a reserved seat.
- /compare/ludus
Ludus already has a box office. We needed the show before the door. Places is $1 a reserved seat.
- /compare/on-the-stage
On The Stage will build the website, the art, and the box office. They do not print a dollar. We needed a clear $1 and the show before the door.
- /compare/thundertix
ThunderTix is a theatre suite you keep paying in the dark months. We needed tools that cost nothing until a seat sells. Places is $1 a reserved seat.
