Callbacks
By invitation only on Thursday, March 16 3:30-6:30. Students will be notified if they need to attend the callbacks. In order to ensure a smooth and timely callback session, we will use the recorded videos to determine which parts each student will read for at callbacks.
At callbacks, students will be given small sections of the script to read together, so the directors can decide who is going to be each character.

Absences
We understand that students will occasionally have conflicts. But we have a limited amount of time to rehearse, and we need every minute. So we ask that you have no more than two conflicts during the rehearsal window and no conflicts during Tech Week.
If you are absent due to illness, we will communicate with you on a case-by-case basis to determine the best plan for moving forward and trying to keep the student in the cast.
At any point, if you need to miss a rehearsal for any reason, please contact us as soon as possible.
