What's new

QR codes — for resumes, lobbies, and everything in between

  • Every actor profile now has a "Download QR code" button. Tap it and you get a print-quality PNG with the Recast logo in the center. Put it on your resume. Someone scans it; they land on your full performance history. Instant digital portfolio.
  • Every show page has one too. Theater companies: print it and post it in the lobby. "Scan for tonight's full cast list." No app, no login, works on any phone.

YouTube videos on actor profiles

  • Add up to 6 YouTube videos to your profile — showreels, performance clips, interviews, whatever you want people to see. Paste any YouTube share link (the youtu.be/... kind or the full watch URL) and it's done.
  • Videos load as thumbnails and play in a popup window, so your profile stays fast even on bad theater cell service.

Representation, actually organized

  • The old representation field was one text box. Actors were cramming "Manager: X · Agency: Y · Commercial: Z" into a single line and it looked like a ransom note.
  • Now you get three structured slots — name, type (theatrical agent, manager, voiceover agent, whatever fits), agency, and email. Click an agent's email and it opens directly in your mail app.
  • Raymond Lee — one of the first performers on Recast — gave us this feedback in a call this morning. It was live by afternoon.

Edit profile and Add a credit: both visible at the top

  • Previously, the "Edit profile" button was small gray text sitting below your photo. Easy to miss.
  • Now there are two clearly-labeled buttons at the top of your profile the moment you're signed in: Edit profile (bio, photos, videos, representation) and Add a credit (your show history). No more scrolling to the bottom to discover anything.

Audiences can now log the shows they've seen

  • Every performance page now has an "I saw this" button. Tap it and that performance is logged to your viewing history — date, show, who was on that night.
  • Your history lives on your profile at recast.show/u/[yourname]. By default it's private; there's a toggle to make it public if you want to share it.
  • Share to Instagram is built in too. After logging a show you get a shareable image — cream paper, ink type, the cast you saw. Recast is tagging along to your theater habit in the best way possible.
