Please Note

• It may be convenient to bookmark musemachine.com/backstage on your device. Remember that updates to the online schedule will occur throughout the rehearsal period, so printed versions will become outdated.

• 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 green on this schedule. Currently, notes of interest appear in red.

• This schedule is for grades 2-7 (the “Young Cast”). Although there is some overlap, the older performers (grades 8-12) have a separate schedule for “Cast”.

• Parents may wait on the third floor during rehearsals or may pick up their kids in front of the building (next to the Victoria Theatre, beneath “The Loft” sign). Adults will always escort the group to the third floor to be united with parents who are waiting there — and then will escort the remaining kids to the sidewalk in front of the building and wait with them until we see that each has been picked up by their family. Please be prompt when picking up your children.
