Full Cast Rehearsals: Mondays 6:00-8:30pm

This is when we will host important workshops and teach a majority of the ensemble numbers.

Performers may participate in the show if they can only attend this evening, but will most likely be limited to ensemble roles.

-
Called by Character: Wednesdays 6:00-8:30pm & Saturdays 10:00am-1:00pm
-
For these additional rehearsals, specific performers will be given call times.
-
These schedules will go out well in advance so that performers have time to plan around them.​
-
Performer conflicts can be worked around if they are communicated prior to auditions. After auditions, performers may need to catch up via videos, which we will record at the rehearsal(s) they miss.

There will be no rehearsal on Wednesday November 25th, Wednesday December 9th, or Saturday December 26th.
