Do-It-Yourself

For directors who want to get hands-on, the DIY Demo makes you a co-director of a fake show with a full slate of [fake] auditionees and cast list. Get full access to all the director tools as you will have when you post a real show on Cast98, including those in the XL upgrade.

It is important to note that there is no onboarding wizard or tooltips of any kind (except general prompts within the show description and audition details) within the demo portal, so you may find it useful to follow along with the Virtual Tour.

When you're ready, head over to demo.cast98.com to begin!


Watch a Video Tutorial

Enjoy a video walkthrough of all the core director tools. Pause it, rewind it, share it, and/or follow along in the DIY Demo as Cast98's founder takes you through a 15-minute virtual tour of the essentials for auditions, casting, and rehearsal scheduling.


Schedule a Private Demo

Since Cast98 is free to get started, your best avenue for sampling the tools is to post a show and try it out yourself. The DIY Demo is by far the most popular way to explore the advanced tools (those in the XL upgrade) on a fake show. If you prefer a guided tour of the XL tools, then please feel free to request a demo using the form below.

A live demo is a great way to bring a group of stakeholders into the conversation, such as a board of directors or leadership team. In fact, the best demo is for the private X/EDU version, which is designed specifically for school districts - imagine being able to safeguard students by deleting their profiles after graduation - and theatre associations - which adds a massive value proposition to your membership benefits! Requesting a demo is the first step to getting in, to find out if it's a good fit for your needs.
