(Probably two evenings during the week and one weekend day). Due to the nature of this play, everyone will be needed for all rehearsals, and numerous conflicts may affect casting - be open about your availability at auditions, and let me decide if I can make it work. I look forward to beginning 2011 with a classic American play, and an excellent acting ensemble.
