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

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.
