Incoming Call...

Parent

"Hi, I'm interested in enrolling my daughter in a theater class. What age groups do you have?"

AI Receptionist

"Perfect! We have Musical Theater for ages 8-12 on Tuesdays at 4 PM. There are 3 spots left. Would you like to schedule a trial class?"

The Problem

KIDS' THEATER PROGRAMS
LOSE FAMILIES DAILY

You're losing enrollments every day your phone goes unanswered. Parents call during rehearsals, no-shows waste your audition slots, and your team can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When Parents Actually Have Time

A parent finds your program at 9 PM after the kids are in bed, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages the next day, they've already enrolled with a competitor who answered immediately.

The Cost
$3,500/season
Lost per empty enrollment spot

Your Team Is Drowning in Calls

While you're running rehearsal, five more calls come in. Audition scheduling, costume questions, performance ticket inquiries—you can't be everywhere at once. Parents get frustrated waiting, and you lose enrollments.

The Cost
40+ calls/day
Per program director

Auditions No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You reserve the time slot, prepare audition materials, and show up. They don't. You send one follow-up email that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and another empty spot in your cast.

The Cost
35% no-show
Rate for scheduled auditions
$42,000
