Full dress rehearsal mandatory.

Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Costume Rehearsal

    Practice in costume before show day — restrictive costumes change movement range.

  • Stage Marking

    Rehearse on marked stage dimensions — spacing changes in performance.

  • Emergency Plan

    Know injury and evacuation procedures for every venue.

Safety Notes

  • Warm up thoroughly before rehearsal — cold muscles tear easily.
  • Keep floors clean and dry to prevent slips.
