A Note About Casting:
Please understand that the casting process is complicated and takes into account many factors, first and foremost being your audition. It is a giant puzzle with many moving pieces. Every role should be respected as we are all one company and it takes everyone to put on quality productions.
A Message about conflicts:
There have been a significantly high number of conflicts given to us to work around during show time. We try to work around conflicts when possible but it has become increasingly harder and harder to schedule rehearsals. In preparation for this year, know that a typical rehearsal schedule begins as early as 2:30 (music and dance) and often as late as 6:30 on Mon, Tues, Wed, Fri and on Saturdays we typically rehearse 10:30 - 2:00. Rehearsal schedules are posted one week in advance or more and you will likely not be called for all rehearsals. Please try to schedule your conflicts after 6:00 or 6:30 pm.
When we are rehearsing a show, we need these rehearsals to be the priority and you will need to schedule your other rehearsals, classes, work, etc. around this schedule. We will do the best we can to work around approved conflicts at the time of your audition such as college auditions, and SAT's. No conflicts (minus approved exceptions) will be accepted in our last two weeks including tech and performances 3/16 - 3/29
