This rehearsal, please plan on being in the theatre the entire time. Please bring snacks and homework, as when you are not on stage you can use your time wisely. If you have a scene that has yet to be blocked, find a partner and memorize your lyrics. We need everyone near by, as we may need to add people to scenes that we are blocking.

3:35 - warm up and attendance

Depending on how far we get on Monday, Friday's rehearsal will be starting the blocking from where we left off on Monday. The goal of these rehearsals are to format the large blocking.  We will have these large blocking sessions with everyone in attendance so that we can add people to scenes if need be.

 

No Rehearsal Thursday - please check Friday schedule

Hello Cast, 

We just want to thank everyone of you for your great attitude and your readiness. We have had chills during this weeks rehearsals. Love the eye contact, the intensity, the memorization and the energy.

You are an amazing cast!

We also want to wish our cast members who are away at Divisional Choir Camp a GREAT RETREAT!
Enjoy and learn tons, as we are only better when you bring more fabulous talent among us.

To the cast members that are not on this retreat. Please make this Friday a good use of time for you to memorize your part and practice in front of a mirror: study your facial expressions, your body posture and experiment with transforming your body to match the characters' voice! We are expecting that scripts will be held less in October. Use your time this Friday and weekend to memorize!
