The Call Board: Finding Love in Theatre

Hello from backstage 👋

Welcome to The Call Board — a monthly roundup of theatre resources, best practices, and real-world insights for anyone working onstage, backstage, or somewhere in between. Created by the Beyond Theatre Collective, we strive to support community and educational theatres and those who make it happen. Expect to receive The Call Board on the last Wednesday of each month, just as the stage goes dark.

February is often associated with love, but in theatre, connection shows up in quieter, more enduring ways—shared rehearsals, late-night tech notes, and the trust built behind the scenes. This month, Beyond Theatre Collective is celebrating the relationships that grow in rehearsal halls and backstage corridors, featuring real love stories from couples who met through theatre or continue creating together.
