​
If you are unable to make this schedule work, we advise against auditioning this season.
​
Most principal youth roles will also have an understudy. We do not expect to determine at auditions which actor will be the principal and which actor will be the understudy for all shows, this may be determined within the first 7-10 days of the rehearsal process. However, both youth actors cast in the role will have an opportunity to perform the role throughout the run. Which performances and how many performances may be determined at a later date.

SCHEDULE
Most roles and productions require daytime availability from adult actors for rehearsals, actors with this availability will be prioritized.
​
Local actors with daytime conflicts may still submit this season, all conflicts must be clearly submitted in the Google Form and accounted for in writing in contract before signing. Conflicts will impact compensation amount.
​
We will be off from rehearsals one day per week, however the day off may not be consistent week to week or production to production. A full production schedule will be sent to the cast weeks prior to the first rehearsal.
It is expected that all six productions may have up to 8 performances per week, although currently the production listed online may be less than 8. Performance dates will be solidified based on demand closer to the run of the show but will not impact contract amount.
Shows may have up to one weekday matinee per performance week that all actors must be available for. Currently one is scheduled for Emmet Otter and Hello Dolly, other shows may have performances added closer to showtime.
