Performers must be able to be at the theater on time at 5pm on all four nights and stay until the end of the show.

Rehearsals

Actors must also be able to collaboratively schedule two rehearsals per week with their play group for a minimum of 8 rehearsals before dress rehearsal.

Two additional rehearsals are also required. One between dress and opening night and one between the rehearsal dates.

At casting calls, every actor will fill out an availability sheet and directors will only select actors whose times match up with each other. The rehearsal schedule for each of the play groups will be collaboratively made within your group.

Additional Criteria & Conduct

Actors must not only be collaboratively-minded people, but must also agree to the Monkey Standard of no intoxicants before/during rehearsals or before/during the performances.

Actors also need to be OK with AudioGlobe filming their perfomences and streaming it online and providing a copy of it for free to people involved and 5 bucks to family/fans (this cost enables the Audio Globe crew to be there, and that is duper cheap. yes, duper.)
