Plus, your child gets the experience of being on stage, with costumes, props, and a set, and learns memorization skills, coordination, time management, and many other life skills.

Rehearsal Schedule:

Rehearsals will begin [date & time and any other show specific info]. During tech week (the week before the show opens), there will be mandatory rehearsal EVERY evening from 5:30-9:30 PM. If this is too late for your child, please do not have them audition. Final dress rehearsal WILL go much later, as it is a Friday evening. We will get the full schedule out to you as soon as possible, normally within a week after casting. PLEASE submit all conflicts on the back of your AUDITION FORM (NOT the Attendance Policy).  We will not be accepting any conflicts for the week of tech week or ANY shows, and please note, as always, your conflicts may affect casting decisions.
