Performers

Our actors are all professionals, with most of them having college degrees in Theatre Performance, Musical Theatre, Dance, and other Performing Arts categories, and are selected at national auditions each year.

Rehearsals begin 14 days prior to the performance Opening Date.
Schedules vary from 6-8 performances per week.
When national tours are scheduled for our productions, a tour contract will be issued.
Contract includes housing, meal on show days, transportation, and access to local fitness club.

Main Stage Productions

Adult performers for our main stage productions are on stage an average of 6-9 shows per week.

Youth performers are double-cast in main stage productions to alleviate the demand of a full schedule. Youth actors perform in 4-5 shows per week, which includes matinees. There will be a few days that require early dismissal from school for rehearsals and performances. If cast, we provide you with the required papers for school clearance.

Children’s Theatre Productions

Roles are usually not double-cast for these productions. All actors will perform in 2-5 morning or matinee shows a week.
