Callbacks will take place on Monday, January 12th from 3:30-6:00 p.m. You will be asked to sing parts of the score, so familiarity with the music is a must. Start listening to the soundtrack now!

The Saturday before the show we have a longer tech rehearsal, usually from 9-6. All cast and crew are required to be at tech- NO EXCEPTIONS. We also have a dry tech the day before (Friday) that we'll use as a line through. Monday-Thursday night will be dress rehearsals from 3:30-9 p.m. Dinner is available for dress rehearsals and for opening night, so you can stay at school until call.
IF YOU PLAY A SPORT - YOU MUST SPEAK TO ME AND YOUR COACH AND SPLIT THE TIME EVENLY BETWEEN PRACTICE AND REHEARSAL (INCLUDING GAMES). YOU ARE EXPECTED TO BE PRESENT FOR ALL OF SATURDAY TECH AND TECH WEEK/DRESS REHEARSALS AND IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO COMMUNICATE THAT TO YOUR PARENTS AND COACHES IN ADVANCE.
IF YOU HAVE CONFLICTS FOR SATURDAY TECH THROUGH THE END OF THE SHOW OR FOR ANY SHOW DAYS, PLEASE DO NOT SIGN UP TO AUDITION. WE NEED EVERYONE FULLY COMMITED DURING THOSE FINAL HOURS!

ABOUT THE SHOW
From Tony winners Terrence McNally, Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, creators of such Broadway classics as Ragtime and Once On This Island, this dazzling show transports its audience from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family.
