Overview
Understudy is proud to support independent theatre through our Sponsorship Program. Understudy offers remuneration to verified productions that help grow our community and introduce more actors to our tools. Understudy offers three types of sponsorship:
Casting Sponsorships
Understudy offers sponsorships to productions that cast their roles through the platform. Sponsorship amounts are based on the number of actor submissions your casting call receives, with higher rates available for exclusive listings and new user referrals. An exclusive listing means the role is only open for submission on Understudy, and a new user referral means the submitting actor created their Understudy account specifically to submit to your casting. Casting sponsorships are available only to established organizations and are subject to production verification.
Talent Sponsorships
Understudy sponsors productions that encourage their cast to rehearse using the app. For each confirmed cast member who creates an Understudy account and completes at least one rehearsal session, we offer a fixed sponsorship amount. Understudy offers hands-on support for onboarding casts, including full script imports. Talent sponsorships are similarly limited to verified productions and are subject to audit that ensures genuine cast participation.
Marketing Sponsorships
Understudy also sponsors productions who promote the platform to their community. This could mean featuring Understudy in your program, social posts, or emails to your audience. Sponsorship amounts are based on estimated audience reach and the promotional assets you include. Here are some common channels we consider:
