    • November 22nd & 23rd, 2024

      • Show 1 - 4 MANDATORY TECH REHEARSALS

        • Friday, November 22nd (2:00 - 6:30 pm)

          • Local Artists & Out-of-town artists (Tech Times - specific times TBD)

        • Saturday, November 23rd (1:00 - 3:00 pm)

          • Local & Out-of-Town Artists (Tech Times - specific times TBD)

      • Each artist/group will be assigned a 2 hour time slot. Within those 2 hours, 5-7 pieces will tech with with sound (each group receiving 20 minutes on stage)

      • During your tech, you will have 20 minutes to space your piece, set sound levels, and run your piece with sound. (Lighting for this year’s venue will be a pre-set lighting wash that will remain for all pieces).

      • Artists will be assigned a specific tech during the mandatory virtual conference call, this way artists can plan their schedule around the time they are required to be in the theater. Requests for time slots will not be accepted, as we cannot accommodate each artist.

      • All cast members must be present at tech rehearsal - no exceptions. Failure to clear your scheduled tech time with your entire cast may result in removal from the concert. Please communicate this with your casts as soon as your time is scheduled so that artists have plenty of time to adjust schedules.
