Notes:

• Cast means all the people acting in the play, this includes all the speaking parts and chorus members.
• Crew means all the people working behind the scenes to help the show run smoothly.  Lighting and sound crew members should only come to the rehearsals where these jobs are specifically listed.
• The Stage Managers need to attend every rehearsal!
• Parents who would like to help at rehearsals should let Mrs. Benjamin know in advance.  Unless otherwise noted, rehearsals will be closed and parents should wait outside the room until the group is dismissed.  (We like to keep the show a surprise as much as possible.)
