FAQ’s about Rehearsals & Performances
When and where are rehearsals?
Jr. Cast- Thursdays from 6-8 p.m. at Albiani Middle School. During tech weeks in January, we’ll rehearse at Rosemont 2-3 days per week including weeknights and/or Saturday mornings. We will not hold rehearsals during Thanksgiving week or after 12/20 during Winter Break.
Sr. Cast- Thursdays, 5:45-8:15 at Albiani Middle School. Also some Saturdays in Nov. and Dec., 9-Noon. During tech weeks at Rosemont in January, we’ll rehearse 2-3 days per week including weeknights. We will not hold rehearsals on Halloween, during Thanksgiving week, or during Winter Break after 12/20.
How can I get my Jr. and Sr. cast performers to rehearsal at the same time? We plan to have both Sr. and Jr. Cast rehearsals at the same location in different rooms! We are pretty excited about this!
Do I attend every rehearsal? Not all performers are called to each rehearsal. Directors are busy planning which characters will need to attend which rehearsals. We intend to use the performer’s time wisely at rehearsal.
What is and isn’t allowed at rehearsals? The rehearsals are generally closed to parents, siblings, and guests of performers. It’s ok to peek your head in for the last few minutes of rehearsal if you want to see how things are going (as long as you do not distract the performers), but we ask parents not to come expecting to sit through the rehearsal unless they are there helping. Space is limited and we have found performers sometimes have difficulty focusing with their parents in the room. For Sr. Cast members, it is always a good idea to bring homework to work on during possible downtime. Cast Members, please don't use cell phones or electronics during rehearsals. It’s important to wear comfortable clothes you can dance in.
Will there be a double cast? There will likely be 2 separate casts for the jr. cast show. For the Sr. cast show, there will likely be one cast with featured roles double cast.
What if I have to miss rehearsals? Attendance at rehearsals is crucial. Because this is a group venture, it is inconsiderate when one person in the scene isn’t present to rehearse. If you must miss a rehearsal, please let the producer know. Missing a rehearsal while the group is learning a new number may result in the performer being dropped from the number. It is not practical to constantly re-teach numbers. If you miss more than 2 rehearsals, you can be dropped from a number and ultimately the play w/no fee refund. Be present at all rehearsals you are asked to attend.
Where will we perform? The fabulous performing arts center at Rosemont High School, rights pending.
How do tickets and performances work? We sell tickets in person and online a few weeks before the show. One ticket gets one person into both shows. The Jr. Cast goes first with a 35-ish minute show, followed by a short intermission. The Sr. Show starts after intermission. The Sr. shows are usually about 1 hr 15 minutes long.
