About werkschedule

What's the goal of this site?

I'd heard from folks in the community that it's frustrating when two great shows end up booked on the same night, and that people often wondered whether a shared tool listing everyone's plans might help. So I built werkschedule — a community-driven calendar for burlesque and drag shows in the Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay area.

It's really for two audiences: show producers who want an easy place to check what else is already planned before picking a date, and anyone in the community who just wants to see what's happening and discover shows near them. If you produce or help run shows, you can log in and request to become an Editor — from there you can post the shows you produce or are otherwise involved with.

Just want the shows on your phone? Any logged-in user can set up a calendar subscription — pick a region or two, and shows get synced straight into your phone's calendar app, kept automatically up to date. Find it under "Calendar sync" in the menu once you're logged in.

What's in scope?

Right now the calendar covers burlesque and drag shows in and around the Monterey Bay area. We're not listing things like classes or workshops at the moment, but that could change if there's enough interest.

Same goes for geography — we're focused on the Monterey Bay area for now, but we'd be glad to open things up to the greater Bay Area and beyond if there's enough interest, and if we can find people local to those areas willing to help keep it accurate.
