NOTE:
This year's performance dates of December 4th - 7th require us to have a mandatory run thru on Sunday, November 30th. This is the Sunday of Thanksgiving Weekend.
There will be NO exceptions to attending this rehearsal. We understand that this may be a conflict for some of our family and, while we hope not, we do understand if some families may opt to not audition this year. There will be no rehearsals the weekend prior to Thanksgiving, hoping to give our families a little bit of a break.
