• Actors need to wear comfortable clothing, bring a pencil, and bring a bottle of water with the actor's name on it to every rehearsal.

• Absences: 
• While being at all rehearsals and performances is mandatory, we know illness and emergencies happen.  We expect that if and actor is sick that they stay home, but call the director.  Actors must be fever, diarrhea, and vomiting free for 24 hours before coming to a rehearsal. 
• Director Edwards will consider each case individually to determine if missed rehearsal will keep a actor from performing his role.
