WHAT WE BELIEVE

Four things that don't change as we continue growing

01

Arts organization can thrive in this day and age

Change is inevitable and it may not be easy, but smart and savvy organizations—with the right tools—will have a bright future and continue to be essential in their communities.

02

Audience engagement is the key to success

Enthusiastic and returning audiences mean financial stability, creative license, and artistic freedom.

03

Not adapting with audiences is not an option

Audience and consumer behavior changes constantly, and organizations that don't stay nimble and meet the moment will struggle to stay relevant and top-of-mind.

04

OTS can help you Evolve With Your Audience

We've helped thousands of organizations delight millions of patrons with intuitive tools that are easy to use and endlessly configurable; that's our north star..

LIFE AT OTS

A decade of building for this industry specifically.

Marek Raczkiewicz, Sr Customer Success Manager

What makes OTS unique is the direct connection between our product features and the tangible impact on our users. Working here means seeing immediate results. When we ship a new feature or provide support, an organization sells out a show or manages their front-of-house seamlessly. That shared sense of purpose gives every project a clear, human outcome.

Cassie Epps

I personally love that I get to work with teachers and theatre makers every single day from around the country. It makes my day to hear people say "I wish I had heard of you guys sooner, this is really going to help my program!" As a former theatre teacher, I am living the dream of helping others.

FAQ

Common questions we hear about On The Stage

What is On The Stage (OTS)?

On The Stage (OTS) is a ticketing, marketing, fundraising, and audience engagement platform built for performing arts and live entertainment organizations. Schools, theaters, music and dance companies, and commercial venues use OTS to sell tickets, engage their audiences, and increase their revenue from a single platform that helps them to sustain, expand, and thrive year after year.

Who founded On The Stage?

On The Stage was founded by Broadway professionals and software experts who wanted to put professional-caliber tools in the hands of every school, organization, and company. That mix still defines who we are: the OTS team includes former performers, producers, marketers, fundraisers, and box office managers working alongside engineers on behalf of our thousands of customers.

How long has On The Stage been in business?

On The Stage has been providing ticketing, marketing, and audience engagement software for the performing arts and live entertainment industries for more than a decade. In that time, OTS has helped thousands of organizations sell to millions of patrons in the US and UK.

Where is On The Stage headquartered?

On The Stage is headquartered in New York City, with an office in heart of the Theatre District; the epicenter of the performing arts and live entertainment industries. With a remote-friendly team located across the United States, OTS serves customers throughout the US, as well as the UK and soon Canada.

Is On The Stage owned by private equity?

No. On The Stage is not and has never been funded by private equity. That independence lets OTS make long-term decisions around product quality and customer partnership rather than short-term returns, so our customers can count on continued innovation and have confidence that we’ll still be here next year and beyond.

What problems does On The Stage solve?

On The Stage helps performing arts and live entertainment organizations solve three common problems: audiences that don't return, finances that rely on too few income streams, and operations bogged down by manual work and disconnected tools. OTS brings ticketing, marketing automation, and giving together so organizations can grow loyal audiences that bring in more stable revenue.

Why does On The Stage focus on audience engagement?

On The Stage focuses on audience engagement because returning, enthusiastic audiences are what make arts and entertainment organizations financially healthy.
