​Normal rehearsals will primarily run Sunday and Tuesday-Thursday evenings. Attendance is imperative for the entire rehearsal period and too many absences will unfortunately not be accepted. If you are not able to make the commitment to our busy schedule, we ask that you please refrain from submitting an audition. We appreciate your consideration prior to requesting an appointment. If you have any other inquiries regarding the schedule, feel free to reach out; we're more than happy to answer any questions you have!
Required Rehearsals
Cast tech period & previews (October 1-12), performances (October 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29), a brush-up rehearsal (October 19), and a production strike (October 29 after the final performance) are all required dates for show participation and will be held at the Slayton House Theater in Columbia, MD. No conflicts will be accepted for the aforementioned dates. An agreement will be issued for all individuals cast to sign abiding to these days and times.
We also ask that you please refrain from auditioning if you are already fully committed to another project that conflicts with the rehearsal schedule, as well as performance and strike dates. Individuals with any major projects overlapping will not be considered for this production.
