Minor changes @ 12/9/24
Intensive planning has indicated to the Creative Team that with Newsies we need more time in 2024 to meet our usual goals before we break for summer. Consequently:
1 Sunday 3/11 12.30 - 2pm readthrough then PDs will be kept for Dance in the Little Theatre
2 Sunday rehearsals from Nov 10 will be from 12.30 - 5pm. They will comprise 2 hours singing, a quick move to Red Star Dance and Dance till 5pm.
3 Kirsten will be singing with principals and small groups on these Thursdays in December: 5th, 12th and 19th. Specific times will be arranged once the show is cast around individuals' availability.
These changes have been made to the appropriate docs - V2s
