OUR REHEARSAL PROCESS
At GCT, we value the time of everyone involved in putting on a production.
Auditions are normally held at least a month before rehearsals begin.
Cast members are given their materials and are expected to come to rehearsals well prepared.
We have been able to put together productions with fewer rehearsals than most theaters because cast members understand that if they come prepared, we are able to put in more valuable work in a shorter amount of time. We normally hold no more than three rehearsals per week. All rehearsals are broken down to make sure that if you are called, you are used. We value your time and talents, and do our absolute best to only ask for your attendance when your scenes are being worked on.
Moral of the story: you are choosing to spend your free time with us. So, put in your outside work, come prepared, come on time, challenge yourself and we promise that we will try our hardest to make the time that you devote to our group worthwhile and put on a theatre production we all can be proud of.
