• Assistance will be made available as needed for translating your scenes and helping you learn your music

• Will rehearse one evening a week for 4 weeks
• Day TBD by mutual agreement
• Start time 7:00 or 7:30 PM
• Could occur in August (starting the week of August 12) or November/ December
• Will meet chez the Bursteins, 108 Oakland Avenue, Arlington
• Each meeting will comprise 10 minutes warmup + two 40-minute meetings (Ensemble A and Ensemble B meeting with musical director and stage director, then switching), followed by snacks
• All participants must attend all 4 meetings

• Performance will occur at a subsequent musical party chez the Bursteins
• Costumes and props to be furnished from our various closets
