The Importance - Rehearsals Week 1




Hello Actors!

Below is the rehearsal schedule for our first week. Once we get through this week, I'll try to post two weeks at a time, so that you can better plan your lives. 

If you listed a conflict on your sheet, it will be reflected in the schedule. If you do not see your conflict reflected in the schedule, you should always contact me immediately via email so we can see why I don't have your conflict in my records. 

Sometimes we will work scenes you are in even if you are gone. When this happens, it will be your responsibility to get with a member of the Stage Management team to figure out what you missed.

If new conflicts arise, you need to email me to make a request. That said, there really should be no requests outside of emergencies (e.g., illness, death in the family, etc) at this time.

As always, email at: teen.west.project@gmail.com
