ATTENDANCE POLICY
Being cast in a production, even a virtual one, is a big commitment.

Casting decisions are made with each performer availability in mind; it may not be possible to offer a role to a performer with excessive conflicts or conflicts that occur in the weeks leading up to performance.
Attendance at rehearsals is crucial to the success of the entire production.

No conflicts are permitted during tech rehearsals or performances.
Conflicts not stated during the audition process or excessive absences/tardiness may result in casting changes or not being able to participate in all scenes.
