# Stagebound

> Stagebound is the modern casting management platform built for theater companies — a real-time casting pipeline, QR audition check-in, performer profiles, and shared team visibility. Casting organizations pay per seat; performers are always free.

Stagebound serves two audiences: casting teams (theater companies, from community theater to professional) who manage auditions and productions, and performers who check in at auditions, maintain a profile, and can publish a public portfolio at http://stagebound.app/performers/<username>.
