Most of the forms people fill in for your group can carry questions of your own: show act applications and ticket booking, festival submissions, volunteer shifts, auditions, course and workshop booking, drop-in sign-up, requests to join and entering a team into a Cage Match. The builder is one page for all of them.
Questions belong to the group, not to a single event, so a question you add to the show application shows on every show you run.
