Rehearsal Schedule Addams Winter V1
Please Note
• It may be convenient to bookmark the Backstage page on your device. Tapping a month’s name on the right will auto-scroll you to that month. You may print this page if you wish.
• If updates are made to this schedule, you will be notified via voice message, the change will initially appear on the top of the Backstage page and the changes will appear in red on this schedule. Currently, notes of interest appear in red.
• Song titles appear in italic type. Required cast appears in (parenthesis).
• “AIS2” means Act One, Scene Two; “AIIS3” means Act Two, Scene Three, and so on.
• We will be “dark” – meaning no rehearsal – on several days throughout the rehearsal period, as well as breaks for Thanksgiving and late December.
• “Tutti” means the entire cast (Italian word meaning “all together”).
• When a specific character is listed, both the principal and understudy actors for that role should attend rehearsal.
• If a day simply indicates “Rehearsal” without specifying a scene or song, this indicates a complete run-through of the show (these begin in December).
• For speaking characters, be very familiar with your scene the first time it is rehearsed. The second time any scene appears on the schedule, you should be essentially off-book (memorized) for that scene.
• In this show, Encore is the production number that will occur following the curtain call and features the entire cast.
