First Rehearsals

Here is the run down for the first week:

Monday: Call backs for all ACTors will be held from 5–7:30 PM. ACTors and artistic staff will be working on some character development, break out scenes, and allowing the chance for everyone to know each other!

The parent meeting will be held from 6:30–7:30. ACT is an all-volunteer organization and as the saying goes, “many hands make light work.” During the meeting, we require at least one parent from each family. We will be talking about the volunteer committees, expectations, and what to expect through out the show.

Take a peak at the volunteer committees and descriptions before Monday.

Tuesday: Take a break! The artistic staff will be working on casting.

Wednesday: There will be a read through for everyone who is cast in the RED cast from 5–7.

Thursday: There will be a read through for everyone who is cast in the BLUE cast from 5–7.

SchedPosted: Hidden until schedule is ready.
