A theater stage from the wings: heavy velvet curtains, a single ghost light center stage, dust in a beam of warm light.
Marlowe · Merritt Theater Academy

Five moments from a week in production, with Marlowe handling the parts that aren’t the direction.

  1. Monday 4:18

    This week’s rehearsal schedule is on the call board.

    Act 1 blocking is queued for Tuesday and Thursday. Music rehearsal for the chorus on Wednesday. The leads in Friday’s scene work are pinged with the pages. Every actor knows when they are called before they reach for their phone.

  2. Tuesday 7:42

    Casting is sealed and announced.

    After three nights of auditions, the cast list is in. Marlowe drafts the announcement to every family in your voice, with the actor and the role on each line. You read it once, change the closing sentence, send. The whole company knows by morning.

  3. Wednesday 11:14

    The production budget knows where the money went.

    Costumes, lumber, royalty fees, the headshot photographer. Every receipt scanned in the last week is sorted into the right line. The remaining budget shows at the top of the production page. No accountant call at 9 PM on Sunday.

  4. Thursday 9:08

    The playbill drafts itself from the cast list.

    Cast in order of appearance. Crew. Producer’s note (a paragraph Marlowe drafted from your director’s notebook). Sponsors’ logos in the back. You read, swap two names, approve. The printable PDF lands in the company’s Drive folder, ready for the printer.

  5. Sunday 5:42

    Opening week reminders go to every family.

    Call times, costume drop-off, the photo-op before Friday’s show, the family pre-buy link for tickets. Marlowe stitches it into a per-family note. You read one, change a sentence, send. The laptop closes before the family meal.

Marlowe · the company’s tools

Most school software is built for the classroom. Does this know theater?

It does. The vocabulary is theater vocabulary: cast, crew, rehearsals, productions, playbills, headshots, dress rehearsal, run-through. The rehearsal schedule respects the script, not a bell schedule. The playbill is a real document, not a printable transcript with a different header.

Where does my data actually live?

In your own Google Workspace. The cast list, the rehearsal call, the production budget, the headshots, all in your own Drive. If you ever leave, you keep all of it. We do not see it, do not sell it, and Anthropic does not train Claude on it.

Does the AI ever send anything without my sign-off?

No. Marlowe drafts. You read it, change what you want, send. Every casting announcement, every tuition reminder, every parent note waits for a human tap. The audit log is in your Drive, time-stamped.
