{"product_id":"show-selection-spreadsheet","title":"Show Selection Spreadsheet","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEight titles you'd be proud to direct. One you can actually do.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeason selection feels like a taste question. It isn't. Taste narrows the list — after that it's arithmetic. How many people audition for you, what you can costume, what you can spend, how many microphones you own, how many weeks you have, and what your board will sit through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis spreadsheet does that arithmetic while you're still deciding, instead of in week three when your Act Two lead has travel soccer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou enter your own numbers once. Then every title you're considering gets measured against them, automatically:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA cast bigger than your typical turnout \u003cstrong\u003eturns the row red\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSo does a cost estimate over your budget, or a negative margin against projected income\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA show needing more rehearsal weeks than you have, or more mics than you own, gets flagged\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA rights application past the date you were promised an answer gets flagged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery check stays quiet until you've filled in the number it measures against — so a half-finished sheet never shouts at you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCasting is counted the way licensors now describe it: named roles, ensemble range, and roles written gender-specific versus gender-flexible, plus the one hard casting requirement every show carries. Score each title on six criteria, weight them however your company actually works, and the ranking follows. Shows you rule out get struck through and kept, with your reason beside them, so next year nobody relitigates a title you already settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt won't tell you what a title costs to license, or whether it's available in your region — only the licensor can. What it does is make sure you asked, and tell you when the answer is overdue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes filled in, too. Seven matching Example tabs follow a fictional community theater choosing a season from eight real titles on a $9,500 budget, with every check visibly firing — including one show that clears every number in the workbook and gets ruled out anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFifteen titles at a time. Built for Google Sheets — a free Google account is all you need. Yours to copy and keep, for every season after this one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Theaterish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49715335790744,"sku":"THR-TPL-SHOWSELECT","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0451\/3955\/8552\/files\/product_00_hero_mockup.jpg?v=1787183143","url":"https:\/\/theaterish.com\/products\/show-selection-spreadsheet","provider":"Theaterish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
