  • Crew attends ALL Sunday rehearsals beginning on January 14, 2019, for any duration of the day they can attend and work productively. 
  • The crew may attend the first read through in December and ALL rehearsals the two weeks prior to the opening of the show plus the show performances (if on running crew) and strike. These dates are MARCH 4-MARCH 19. Tech week is mandatory for ALL crew members.

  •  There is Secret Chanukah Grinch party for cast and crew on Tuesday, December 18th rehearsal day. Crew should attend from 4 to 4:30 and may leave after 4:30 if they would like or may stay until 6pm that rehearsal.

  • The crew may also choose to help at and attend any of the weekly (T/TH) rehearsals but these are optional and not required. It is up to each individual crew member to decide if he/she is attending and for what duration of time. There is not much to work on crew-wise at these rehearsals until after  March 1 as this is our time to work solely on music, blocking and dancing with the cast. So please keep that in mind. After March 1, there is a quite a bit of work the crew may work on during the weekly rehearsals.  Please refer to the MS schedule for times/dates of these rehearsals.

  • The crew is also invited to help with stage management of auditions. 

  • The crew is always welcome at Lower School Cast rehearsals to help mentor and help with crowd control, positioning, and duties that affect the running crew duties when we get to tech week and have the LS cast join the MS cast.
