For Productions & Venues

Find verified backstage crew. Without the WhatsApp group.

BBMGOS is building South Africa's first verified database of backstage theatre professionals. The public platform is still in development, but the database already holds a range of skilled professionals ready for work.

Tell us what you need
Where we are right now

The platform isn't public yet. The people are already here.

BBMGOS has not yet launched a searchable public database. What exists today is a growing register of backstage theatre professionals, verified through credits and references, ready to be matched to real productions.

Coverage right now is concentrated in Cape Town and Johannesburg, where the Guild's network is most established. We are actively working to expand into more South African cities.

If you are looking for crew today, the fastest route is to contact us directly. We will match your brief against the database personally while the public platform is built.

Why this exists

Finding crew shouldn't depend on who you know.

Sourcing backstage crew in South Africa typically means calling contacts, posting in WhatsApp groups, and hoping someone is available. There is no standard way to verify skills, check credits, or know what rate is fair.

BBMGOS is the organised alternative. A growing database of verified professionals, and a Guild that handles the matching directly while the public booking platform is built.

Verified professionals
Every person in the database has been assessed, with skills and credits confirmed.
Personal matching, for now
Until the platform is public, BBMGOS matches your brief directly. You get a name, not a chase.
Credits recorded
Every booking adds to the professional's verified record. The industry gets better data. They get recognition.
