NOTE: There is a chance of rehearsals AND work calls on Saturdays (or Sunday afternoons). These will usually occur towards the end of the rehearsal process due to the fact that problem spots will become more prominent at that time. Work calls are not mandatory for the 8-12 year old actors BUT help would be greatly appreciated.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you are on cast or crew you are expected to 
contribute to the work call times posted. We understand not everyone can help 
with all, but a minimum of 3 hours is requested by all.  Attendance will be 
noted by set team and those attending will be given to producers to file.  In 
today's tough times, to pull off the shows we do, we can't accomplish without 
the volunteer support and it's not fair for 4 or 5 of your fellow cast members 
to carry all the weight.  We have a blast and promise to be prepared so as not 
to be standing around.

The second item is rather than pulling you out of rehearsals, wardrobe will 
begin scheduling times for you to see them.  They will try to do on evenings 
you are coming anyway.  These schedules will be posted on the rehearsal listing.

Thanks to all of you for your time and energy.
