Customer Success Story · Ticketing · Customer Spotlight · Box Office · Marketing
When Maura, Performing Arts Director at The Little Lights Theater Co., began looking for ways to professionalize and streamline her community theatre’s operations, she needed more than just a ticketing tool. She needed a platform that could handle ticketing, marketing, and last-minute production changes without additional staff or vendors. On The Stage delivered exactly that.

By consolidating marketing and ticketing into a single platform, Maura estimates The Little Lights Theater Co. now saves between $5,000 and $15,000 annually in operational costs. Expenses once tied to separate systems, extra help, and manual errors have been significantly reduced. During events, On The Stage’s intuitive box office and check-in tools help Maura operate with up to 15% fewer staff on hand while still offering a polished, efficient patron experience.
“OTS has been very supportive and helpful for my company and its productions. It is easy to use and really helps us look more professional!”
Professional-looking ticket sales pages and a modern, user-friendly buying process align directly with the theatre’s mission to offer high-quality experiences to its community.
Maura particularly values how easy it is to adjust performance details, add new shows, or make last-minute changes-without hiring extra help or incurring new fees.
Beyond individual productions, On The Stage supports long-term sustainability by organizing information from past shows in one place, creating consistency for both staff and audiences. In Maura’s words, the platform has become an essential tool-elevating production quality, strengthening audience engagement, and ensuring each show feels more professional than the last.
