** Rehearsals from June 17th – August 11th could be held at 35 Gravel Pike Red Hill, PA when space at DCP Theatre is not available.

** The Production Team hopes to double cast this show. The exact schedule of which cast will perform what shows will be determined shortly after the first sing through/ read through.

** Be sure to list all conflicts on your audition form. Very few last-minute conflicts will be tolerated. It is better to be honest now, so we can plan accordingly. Please understand, we are a team and to be successful, we need YOU and the entire cast to be present for rehearsals. We appreciate your commitment to this show. 😊
