Databases / Contact management information for small theatre companies

Hello all

 

We at Peut-etre are reassessing the way we organise all of our data and I was wondering if anyone out there used a particularly good piece of software that was simple and effective?

 

I've used various databases in the past but nothing for the last five years or so and so thought I'd put it out there to see what other people are doing.

Hello

 

We keep our database very simple. We just use Microsoft Excel mixed with a bit of Outlook. It seems to work for us and keep everything organised and well-managed.

Hi,

We're doing some work on this ourselves at the moment, having fallen out of love with Excel spreadsheets!

Nothing decisive yet, but I'll post again when we get somewhere.

MANIFESTOS (or, Tell Us What You Really Think)

There's a venerable tradition of artists' manifestos, which always seem to pop up especially at times of great cultural and political change (post WW1 dadaists; them 60s experimenters...) so, given that we are living through times of extraordinary change right now, I thought I'd start a thread for MANIFESTOS RELATING TO MAKING ART FOR CHILDREN.Don't have one?  Nor did I until 24 hours ago, then I decided I'd write one.So get going, and it'd be grand to see them here...See More
