SCHEDULE
OPENING REHEARSAL
FRIDAY, August 22nd 3:30-5:30pm
One parent or guardian please attend. On the first day of rehearsal, we ask parents to join us for the opening 30 minutes. We have information for you and the kids that we’d love to share! We’ll also have a chance to field any and all questions you may have as well.
CONFLICTS
We pride ourselves on reliable and consistent scheduling. Please let us know of any additional conflicts and we will try to honor them. If there are too many last minute conflicts, we may have to recast the part. This rarely happens.
REHEARSALS
August 26-October 10
Master schedule will be coming soon.
TECH TIME
September 29-October 10
Please no conflicts during these days. It is vital that students are there throughout tech process and for final rehearsals. Everyone has a specific role to play (onstage and offstage). It is quite difficult to cover. I know there are some unavoidable conflicts in this time, like choir/band concerts during this time. We will work around those, but need to know in advance. If you had conflicts on your audition form for this time, we are aware and they are approved.
PERFORMANCES
Note - Crew and Actors arrive 90 minutes prior to all performances. FOH will arrive 90 minutes prior on their first shift, and 60 minutes prior second weekend. STP will arrive 60 minutes prior.
Saturdays October 11th & 18th @ 1:00PM & 4:00PM
Sundays October 12th & 19th @ 3:00PM

Registration Fee
Actor registration is $90.00. Crew registration is $60.00. There is no fee for Front-of-House or Showtime Pal.

We encourage all our students to try out again and continue to take classes here at DJT or gain theatrical experience wherever they can! Stay involved in school, church and other local theatre groups to keep performing.
