REHEARSALS
All performers will have ONE rehearsal a week, beginning the week of February 17th and running until the week of May 19th. All rehearsals are held at the Spotlight Kids Company's Theatre Studio at the Madison Community House, 25 Cook Avenue, in Madison, NJ.
Each performer's rehearsal day will be determined during the audition and callback process, and can be planned around recurring conflicts. We want to make this process flexible with performer's schedules so that we can include as many performers as possible!
Please note that students will only be allowed a MAXIMUM of two unexcused absences from regular rehearsals before their role is rescinded. In order to make this flexible schedule work with such a big show, performers will need to dedicate their weekly rehearsal day to Matilda the Musical rehearsal.
Possible Rehearsal Days:
All performers will only meet ONE of these days for the entire process (i.e. only Mondays from 2/17-5/19, or only Wednesdays from 2/19-5/21, etc).
Mondays, between 4-8pm
Tuesdays, between 6-8pm
Wednesdays, between 4-8pm
Thursdays, between 6-8pm
Sundays, between 4-8pm
Rehearsals will not be held for longer than 2 hours at a time.
Please list conflicts with the above days and times on your audition form so that we are able to work around your schedule when casting you!
