Rehearsals at
your fingertips

Few actors have the luxury of unlimited rehearsal time. Between auditions, classes, productions, day jobs, and actually living your life preparation often happens whenever you can find a moment

Horatio was built for those moments. A faster, more flexible way to rehearse scenes, get off-book, and explore performances without the hassle of finding a reader every time you want to work.

Import scripts with ease

Upload stage plays and screenplay PDFs of any length, photograph printed pages, or import scripts from friends with just a few taps. Less time setting up, more time rehearsing.

Build your own cast

Every scene reads differently and Horatio gives you control over pacing, emotion, delivery, and casting so rehearsals feel more flexible, dynamic, and alive.
