Friday Live is one living program, with venue, agency, and show night on the same record. Here is how Umbrella runs it from the first inquiry to doors open.
A program is everything one show needs: the date, the deal, the people, and the money, on one shared record.
01 · Venue
Umbrella reads the inquiries and builds the record.
Inquiries arrive by email, text, and spreadsheet. Umbrella reads them and writes holds, offers, and contracts to the record as the program moves forward.

02 · Agency
Umbrella drafts the paperwork talent needs to clear.
When the venue confirms, Umbrella drafts the offers, contracts, and riders from the deal terms already on the record. The agency reviews and sends.
No re-keying, no parallel thread.

03 · Live
Umbrella flags what's about to slip, before it does.
On the floor, the program either holds together or it doesn't. Umbrella predicts blockers, like a missing rider or a deposit about to slip, and surfaces the one next action that keeps tonight moving.
