  • Production: December 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 2014
  • Rehearsals: TBD; evenings, approximately 3 times per week beginning late October.

Ideally, stage manager would assist at auditions and attend all (or almost all) rehearsals. However, willing to consider a stage manager who would attend blocking rehearsals and the final three weeks of rehearsals only. Stage manager will call the show and have authority regarding the house during tech week and production dates. And a promise: it will be fun!
