The show will be performed during the 2019-2020 school year (October 2019 – June 2020). Actors must have availability on Tuesdays and Thursdays during school hours (typically about 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.) and must have their own transportation.  As part of the company you will be contracted to learn one or two roles as well as stage manage the show from time to time which entails operating the pre-recorded music, helping to run a sound check, and possibly doing a pre-show speech and/or leading a post show discussion.  Performances on any other day of the week or at any other time will only be booked if all of our actors are interested and available.  Performances will not be booked with less than three weeks notice without the consent of all people involved in that particular performance.
