Does Cast98 have a nonprofit discount?

It used to, but eventually I (Daniel - Cast98's founder) came to realize every community theatre is a nonprofit so I lowered prices, added a free tier, and stopped offering nonprofit discounts.

Does Cast98 have an education discount?

It used to have a nonprofit/edu discount, but since pretty much every theatre company is a nonprofit and every school is a... well... school, I (Daniel - Cast98's founder) just reduced the cost, added a free tier, and stopped offering nonprofit discounts.
