Blue Stockings Cast!


Another HUGE thank you to everyone who shared their time and talent during callbacks today and auditions yesterday.  When I say that y'all brought it and made making decisions fun and difficult please know that I mean it!  

As you take a look at the cast list, here is reiterated information about understudies for this show:

All understudies are also cast in ensemble or supporting roles.  We will have an understudy performance night on the Thursday night show.  On Understudy Night, leads will perform their understudy's ensemble or supporting role.

We will have our first rehearsals next week on Monday and Tuesday from 2:45 - 6 pm.  All cast members are called for Monday's rehearsal.  On Monday, I will let you know who is called on Tuesday.  You will have a full rehearsal schedule before the end of break.

Congratulations to the cast of Blue Stockings!
