Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    Prior to the creation of our software people had to go to specific websites for each city or area to find plays. For example, Ticketmaster® allows people to buy a ticket for a play but only for Broadway or Ticketmaster venue. There are 15 or more similar such ticketing software applications available for plays. Unlike such ticketing software applications, the embodiments herein do not handle tickets but instead allow these programs to work through software as described herein by example. Reviews have been only given on sites like yelp® or Angie&#39;s list® but they handle all subjects and all industries as we handle all things theatre only. There are sites that are dedicated just for auditions but you still have to go to the audition. Embodiments of the software described herein allows you to apply for the audition and book the appointment. 
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    One particular embodiment of the invention is a one stop shop for playwrights to find actors, venues and theater goers. For example, such an embodiment allows playwrights to manage the process of doing a play, and also allows actors to manage their careers by utilizing one place to find auditions and their schedules as well as allowing venue owners to rent their facility easier and more efficient for plays to be performed at that location. The described embodiments also allows theater goers to easily find and attend plays in their area. The art described in the drawings of the design and utility function illustrate the unique ability and functions of the invention. The described embodiments of the “A Taste Of Theater App” is also a one stop shop for playwrights to find actors, venue&#39;s and theater goers.
