Read/Sing Through this Sunday
This Sunday there will be a "Read/Sing Through" of the script, including all of the songs in the show. The songs will be sung by those involved in each number.
There are a lot of objectives for Sunday's rehearsal. It is important for you to be there.
- Gives the cast a chance to see the whole show and get an idea as to where and how the music you have been working on fits.
- It lets the directors see who is on stage during each scene. This allows them to determine if the show works as expected.
- It is used to decide what the set needs to look like for each scene.
- Helps to reinforce that all of the music fits as envisioned.
As a result, some things in the show might need to be changed. More people may be put into a scene or people may be moved out of one. The idea is to have the best show that we can put on, so if you are taken out of a scene please don't take it personally. As an example, we may find someone doesn't have enough time for a costume change between numbers and similar things to that.
Cast members will need to have a little patience as we go through the show. Kids (and anyone else) may want to bring a non-messy snack and drink with them and quiet activities to keep them busy if easily bored.

General Info
This Callboard page is considered our main way of communicating with you. We will sometimes send an email for last minute changes, but please get in the habit of checking here and the Rehearsal Schedule page.
We will fill out details on the Rehearsal Schedule page as soon as we can. You will find on the schedule who is called at what time and known absences or late arrivals. We will assume you will be at rehearsal at your called time if we have not heard from you. Note that not everyone is always called for a whole rehearsal. As time goes on, there will be other groups assigned. For now we will break it down into Adults, Teens, and Kids.
As it is decided, music which will include when available each vocal track, accompaniment track, parts tracks, lyrics, and sheet music. This section will require a login which will be given to you at the cast meeting. It will also be emailed so you have it in a location you can find later. We provide this so that you have everything you need to prepare for rehearsal.
