Rehearsals and You

Everyone involved in a theatre production has the end goal in sight – opening night and the production itself. However, as an actor you will spend hours and hours in a rehearsal room and that space is where the magic truly happens, it is a safe place where you must be allowed to play, to create, to attempt, to fail and to succeed.
​
In order for everyone to have that safety to truly be free in the rehearsal room we would advise that everyone keeps these things in mind:
