Founders of stageready
stageready aims to democratize the college performing arts audition and application process. By bringing audition requirements, songs, monologues, research tools, and connections to independent coaches into one place, we help level the playing field for students who may not otherwise have access to private guidance or institutional support.
stageready is free to every student on free and reduced lunch. Partner revenue is part of what keeps that true.
