Dress Rehearsal

Q.  What time should I arrive for my child's rehearsal slot?
A.  We recommend that all students arrive in costume 15 minutes before their scheduled time.

Q.  Where do I check in at dress rehearsal?

A.  We ask that you stay until your time slot is finished, but most students should be in and out within 30-40 minutes.
