| Notes | Cast is required to keep the schedules clear for every night of tech week, beginning 10 days before opening. Please bring your calendar to the audition in order to list your conflicts. Conflicts/vacations do not necessarily exclude you – we need to know for scheduling purposes. You agree that, if cast in "Into the Woods" and subsequently auditioning for another production performing after "Into the Woods" is over, "Into the Woods" is your priority and these rehearsals are your conflicts for that production. Maggie's Little Theater requires all cast members to perform volunteer activities outside of their role. Examples include helping with costumes and props, hall setup, distributing flyers and posters, set strike, tech procedures, production tasks, and others. |
