Thank you for auditioning for this show at Theatre Memphis.
We are dedicated to providing rewarding experiences for our volunteers and outstanding productions to our patrons. We are
pleased that you have chosen to apply to help us with this opportunity. For the good of the show and fairness to all production
volunteers and staff, we ask that you not add conflicts to your schedule once you have accepted a role in this production. If
you are cast and are unable to keep your rehearsal and performance commitments, Theatre Memphis reserves the right to
replace you.

By accepting a role in this production:

 You agree to make a full commitment to this show. -- If at any time after you accept a role, other opportunities or non-
emergency commitments arise that conflict with regular rehearsal or posted performance times, you will fulfill the
commitment you have made to this production and decline the other opportunity. It is your job to resolve any conflicts
that arise before rehearsal/performance and to arrive on time each and every day that you are called. The director agrees
only to accommodate conflicts that you listed on the audition form. Stage management keeps a copy of this information
for reference and rehearsal schedule planning.
 You understand that you may be called for 5-6 rehearsals per week. *Rehearsals are generally 3-4 hours long, but may
be longer during the tech period. Actors will only be called to rehearsals for which they are needed; the final schedule
is subject to change based on progress made in rehearsal. -- Therefore you must keep your schedule flexible even
for days you are not initially called. The full cast will be called for every rehearsal as we head into tech. All tech and
performance dates are mandatory.

will be needed for every rehearsal from this point on.
