Rehearsal Information
Ages 5 and up at any level of experience, even beginners or no experience, are welcome.
Register for Auditions Register for Pre-Audition Workshops
Please review the rehearsal schedule for specific dates. Most rehearsals fall within the time frame of 3-9pm on Tuesdays and Fridays, or 9am-4pm on Saturdays. Different groups/parts will be assigned different days and times within those time frames. Some dancers will be called once a week, depending on part(s). Most rehearsals will begin in September with a possibility of starting main characters and big groups in August. (We have to work around many groups and activities for practice and available space.) Not everyone will be called for a rehearsal each week. Most dancers will only be called for one or two hours a week.
Please list any conflicts that might fall on a rehearsal day and time. If you are not able to attend a time frame on a rehearsal day or not able to attend on a certain date at all, indicate that in conflicts.
*Dates and times may be subject to change.
