Tips for Rehearsals

Please CHECK THE CALENDAR to see if you are needed for a specific rehearsal day.  If you are not needed, please DO NOT attend.

1. Rehearsal begins with announcements. Students should keep a notebook/folder/calendar to write down information to share with parents. Directors will try to send e-mails whenever possible.

2. Bring your script/three ring binder. Always.

3. Bring a pencil.

4. Bring a water bottle.

5. Students need to be ON TIME for every rehearsal (on time actually means 5 minutes early!). You will sign in on our sign-in sheet when you arrive.

6. Always give 100% attention and concentration to rehearsal when you are there! Do NOT have your phone/iPad out! Pay attention to EVERYTHING that goes on (it may help you in the future)

7. Don’t talk to your neighbor – we have a set time and need to get things done!

8. Practice outside of rehearsal – don’t expect to memorize your lines just in rehearsal. See tips for How to Memorize Your Lines Fast by Backstage Experts.

9. Ask questions that are thoughtful and purposeful.

10. The Directors are ALWAYS watching you (and they may be testing you for a role in the future!) so have a good attitude and be responsible for yourself!
