These sessions are NOT required! Mrs. Rice will review all numbers each session. If you don’t/can’t attend, you will need to rehearse independently.

6. Some Info
POSSIBILITY of double casting – Delores(?), Mother Superior, Sister Mary Robert, others?
There’ll be a spot on the audition form to tell us if you don’t want to be considered for a doubled role; this could impact casting decisions.
Guys – while there aren’t a ton of parts/ensemble roles, we’re creating more stage time opportunities for you.
Casting: Don’t put yourself in a box –Amy A.
Things are flexible.

7. Other info
There are over many named characters in this musical. That means we’re looking to cast a lot of students. However, it is still possible that we will have to make cuts.
Actors, stage management, and volunteers from Musical Club will use downtime in rehearsals to help construct set/prop elements, paint, organize spaces, etc.
All Musical Club Members are responsible for supporting the show— fundraising, volunteering to work on the production (crew, ushering, set building, painting, etc.), even if you don’t want to be on stage!

10. Other positions… Mary Crowley is our Stage Manager!
Assistant Stage Managers (1-2)
Need to fill ASAP
Commitment – all acting rehearsals
Duties – line notes, setting stage, running show backstage (props, scene changes)

11. A note about commitment…
Because this is a relatively short rehearsal process (remember we’re working around multiple breaks, concerts, mid-terms, etc.), you MUST be committed to the show. Our rehearsal schedule is literally mapped out from auditions until productions, and it’s jam-packed. If you can’t commit, consider auditioning for a smaller role, or perhaps, choosing to participate in a different way.
DO NOT say you’re willing to accept any role—including ensemble roles—if you really aren’t.
By dropping the show after you’ve decided that now you don’t want an ensemble role, you’re taking away someone else’s opportunity, someone who we may have cut completely. Don’t be that guy.
