CAST

When cast lists go out, we ask each actor to formally accept their role — think of it as clicking “I agree to the terms and conditions,” except the terms are “show up” and “don’t ghost your cast.” We totally understand that real emergencies can happen, but accepting a role means you’ve genuinely thought through the multi-month commitment and aren’t planning to back out because, say, pickleball suddenly becomes your entire personality. Saying “yes” means you’re all in — for the production, your castmates, and the beautifully chaotic journey ahead.

Once rehearsals begin, we gather everyone’s availability and carefully build a schedule with some truly masterful Calendar Tetris. Most roles rehearse 1–3 days a week, often averaging around two until we hit the heavier stretch. We get that we all have jobs, lives, and we know what it's like being on-call, don't worry — but joining the cast means prioritizing rehearsals to the best of your ability, communicating early and often, showing up ready to work with kindness, curiosity, and caffeine levels of your choosing. We’re here to make something fun and meaningful together — and that starts with being present.

The month before performance — especially the final two weeks — is affectionately known as Hell Week(s) because… well, everyone in theatre calls it that, and they’re not wrong. This is when the show snaps into focus, which means later nights (maybe a couple of weekends), tech runs, dress rehearsals, scene polishing, full run-throughs, and the occasional existential crisis (artistically speaking). During this window, we ask cast members to treat attendance as sacred — unless something truly significant arises, you’re there. These weeks rely on all of us showing up fully; every role, cue, and human is essential to making the magic work. If you foresee major conflicts, talk to us early — we’re reasonable, but we do expect your fullest commitment when it counts.
