Congratulations to all. The first company meeting will be on Tuesday, October 29th at 5:30pm. Each cast member is required to attend with one parent/adult representative. The meeting will take one-and-a-half to two hours. A music rehearsal will follow the meeting, which parents will be dismissed from. The cast will be dismissed/can be picked up at 9:00pm. We ask that all cast members attend the meeting in form-fitting clothing or something underneath that can be easily removed (ie. nothing baggy). This is because the costume department will be taking your measurements during the meeting. Please bring a three-ring binder for your script and score.
Keep an eye out for an email tomorrow to accept your role. If you have any attendance issues with the company meeting, please send an email with details to stagemanager@vyt.com
