Rehearsal at Home

Actors will prepare for the project at home first. SOME projects will require online rehearsals through Zoom and ARE NOT optional. This could include cast meetings and Q&A, theatre makeup application session, line delivery coaching and vocal sessions. Dance instruction could be given online and through video files uploaded to a Google Drive Folder.

Once online preparations are completed, it's time to head to the theatre. When actors arrive at KUDOS, they must be ready and memorized. Actors will receive instruction on what they need to do and review directions received during our online sessions. They will engage in theatre arts training skills: vocal, acting, dance and characterization.
Tech Crew

Tech Crew
There may be sessions prior to the actor’s arrival for the crew to prep the stage, dress the set and build anything the production may need. Crew will then learn how to operate the equipment and practice crew positions.
Costumes

Actors may have to provide their costumes or pieces of their costumes depending on the role and show. Actors always provide their own shoes, socks, makeup and under garments.

This is where we all come together and run the show from beginning to end. We practice in costumes, makeup and with all crew members in position. We run the lights, sounds, mics, spotlight as the Stage Manager calls the cues.

Days and hours will vary depending on the play or musical.
Anticipate projects needing virtual rehearsal at home to span over two to three weeks but not every day. These sessions would occur after school and on the weekends for an hour or so at a time. Sometimes with the full cast, sometimes with small groups. Actors must work on their own to prepare including memorizing, working on music and viewing/memorizing dances. Not all shows require virtual rehearsal.
Rehearsal at the theatre will meet just about every day for approximately two weeks. Hours are 4:30-8:00pm after school and full days on the weekends. Conflicts are not allowed. It is very possible that middle weekdays will not be needed depending if your actor is memorized and has done the pre-rehearsal work. Each project will have its own schedule.
