Rehearsal Period
Please be aware that this production will require upwards of 200 hours of rehearsal between January and May – this is an approximate maximum, not all roles will be required for all rehearsals so actual rehearsal times will vary by role. There will be approximately 50 hours of preliminary table work with all of the cast done between January and February, then 150 approximate hours between end of February and the production week time period. This will require 8–9 hour rehearsal days on Saturdays and Sundays, particularly during the months of March and April. If you are unable to commit to the amount of rehearsal required, we do ask you to strongly reconsider auditioning to ensure that the limited audition slots are leveraged by actors who will be able to participate. Weekday rehearsals will occur in the evenings (after 9–5 business hours).
From 26 April – 7 May we will begin the production period during which we will do full runs of the show and focus on technical rehearsals and you must absolutely be available with no exceptions. The same timescales will apply (weekday rehearsals after 5pm, weekend days entirely open).
