Youth

The platform that turns registration chaos into sold-out camps and classes

CircleUp manages registration, scheduling, communication, fundraising, and ticketing for children's theatre organizations. Schedules actually make sense. Parents stop asking the same questions. Payment plans run themselves.

Free for your organization

"We only make money when you collect money through our platform" by passing on a small ticket and registration fee to your patrons, parents, and donors.

We migrate your data

Founded by a children's theatre co-founder and stage dad who knows how hard you work to inspire with art, not spreadsheets.

Trusted by schools and performing arts organizations nationwide

The problem
you know

Running camps, classes, and productions. Drowning in spreadsheets, schedules, and texts.

Registration data in Google Forms, tickets somewhere else, donors in another spreadsheet

Parents messaging "what time is pickup?" for the 50th time

Cast and crew "didn't see" the callboard updates (again)

Our philosophy

A different kind of software company

We're a small team that believes in the transformative power of performing arts education. When you succeed - when your camps sell out, when your shows are packed, when donations pour in - that's when we succeed too.
‍
It's not just business. It's personal. Because we know the late nights you put in, the magic you create with shoestring budgets, and the lives you change every single day.
