Rehearsal and Performance Schedule
A quality production comes from hard work and commitment on the part of everyone in the cast and crew. If members of the cast or crew are missing on days we didn’t expect, it creates confusions and is not fair to other members. For this reason, we ask you to consider the following information:
The rehearsal schedule will have a few variations each week. We have set the schedule to work around conflicts with the theater, as well as holidays during this busy time of year. It is CRITICAL that you review the attached schedule and list ALL conflicts. Missing additional practices not listed is simply not an option.
- Please think through conflicts with the rehearsals and performances before you audition. Think about work, sport events, religious obligations, and family vacations so that these important conflicts are honestly recorded on your audition form.
- We cast based on conflicts you are honest about, and if NEW conflicts arise, you MAY be re-cast.

Here are some tips to keep in mind when auditioning:
- Your audition begins when you first arrive and does not end until you leave the building. We’re looking to put together a team of actors who will work together well. How you act off stage matters as much as how well you act on stage.
- Attached to this document is a link to a vocal piece, a reading and dance material for auditions. While you do not have to have the material memorized, we would like you to come prepared.
- Dress appropriately. Keep your hair out of your face and hands out of pockets. Wear rubber soled shoes you can move in.
- When it's your turn to audition: Introduce yourself. Project! Articulate! Have a positive attitude! Have fun!
- Don't say you can't do something. Try it. Directors want casts who are willing to take chances.
