Updated October 17, 2026. Offer: free website build (up to 5 pages, normally $399) for nonprofits and community groups; Website Care $30/month required.

## The short answer
Yes. A community theater or drama group can get a free website build from Cheap Cheap Websites, registered or not. You get up to 5 pages with the words drafted for you. The only cost is Website Care at $30/month, which covers hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks, A/B testing and small edits.

## Your free 5-page website
1. Home: The current show with dates, a Tickets button and a short line about your company.
2. Season and tickets: Every show in the season, run dates, curtain times, prices and a link to your ticket tool.
3. Auditions and get involved: Open audition notices, crew and volunteer roles, and how to join.
4. Classes and youth theater: Camps and classes with ages, schedules and enrollment links.
5. About, venue and contact: Your history, the address, parking, seating and access notes, and a contact form.

## What theatergoers search for when a show is coming
Most visitors want a show name, a date and a way to buy a ticket. They are often on a phone, in a hurry, and deciding whether to go this weekend. Lead with the current production and its run dates. Make the Tickets button the loudest thing on the page. Show the curtain time, the running length and any content notes. Post the venue address, parking and wheelchair access. A second audience arrives in audition season: actors and crew looking for call details. Give them their own clear page.

## What you get free, and what the $30 covers
The build is free for community theaters. It is the same build as our Launch Website, which normally costs $399 one-time: up to 5 pages, designed for you, words drafted from a short consultation, mobile-friendly layout and 10 revision rounds. The only cost is Website Care at $30/month. It covers hosting, HTTPS (the padlock in the browser), backups, weekly checks, A/B testing and small edits. Recurring plans can be canceled anytime. Ticketing and class sign-ups usually already exist. We add buttons and links to the tool you use, and we do not promise any specific integration or payment processing. If you need more than 5 pages, we quote it before any work starts. A Monthly SEO add-on from $50/month adds new pages each month, but it is never required.

## How people find your show on Google and in AI assistants
Each site gets clear page titles and descriptions, headings that match searches, structured data (schema) so Google and AI assistants understand your group, an XML sitemap, fast mobile pages, and your address and hours written consistently. Typical local searches: community theater near me this weekend auditions for local musical kids theater classes things to do tonight with tickets under 25 dollars The clearer your show page, the easier it is for search tools to quote it. We never promise rankings. Our SEO services page explains the add-on options.

## Must-haves and pitfalls for theater sites
Old shows are the usual problem. A homepage that still says tickets are on sale for a closed run costs you trust. Update the season page as soon as a show closes. Check licensing notes before posting scripts, songs or full photos from a licensed production. Get written permission before posting photos of young cast members, and leave out full names. Keep cast lists current and spelled right. Our existing page on websites for community theaters has more layout ideas.

## How to get started
Fill in the short form on this page. A real person reviews it and confirms you are a nonprofit or community group. We hold a consultation about your season, your venue and your audition process. We write the draft site. You review it and ask for changes, up to 10 rounds. You launch. Small eligible projects can go live in as little as 48 hours. We work with real people in English and Spanish (se habla espanol). See how it works for the full picture, or browse the free nonprofit websites hub.

## Frequently asked questions
**Can an all-volunteer theater get the free build?** Yes. Registered nonprofits and community groups that are not registered both qualify. A real person confirms your eligibility when they review your form.

**Will the site list every performance date?** Yes. Your season page can list each show and run date, with a button that sends buyers to your ticket tool.

**What is the monthly cost?** Website Care at $30/month is the only cost. It covers hosting, HTTPS, backups, weekly checks, A/B testing and small edits.

**Can we change the site when a new show opens?** Small edits are part of Website Care, so updating a show date or poster is normal. Larger changes can be quoted.

**How long until we are live?** Eligible small projects can launch in as little as 48 hours. It depends on how fast you review and approve the draft.
