in rehearsal
Our cast members rehearse two evenings a week and Sundays. They are all under 26 and some of them are school students. Evening rehearsals allow our young actors to work and attend school during our season.

Have a look at the pictures below of the cast in rehearsal:
What do you think is happening in each scene?

PRACTICAL TASK With your classmates, physically recreate the actors‟ positions and facial expressions. Hold the position and then improvise a monologue from that starting place. Remember, there is no right or wrong in this activity. Have fun with where you can go in the improvisation!
