This coming Monday, 3/4, the NW15 Crew Sign Up Sheet will go up. You are asked to sign up even if you are auditioning. If you are cast, you will obviously be removed from crew consideration. And please note: casting will take priority. In other words, there is no danger of you signing up for possible crew and then that somehow meaning I'd pass you up for a role so you can be on crew. If you audition, I assume that is your #1 priority. But if you also sign up for possible crew, that means you would also love to be involved behind the scenes should you not be cast.
Should interviews be needed, they will take place after school on 3/8 and 3/11. The crew will be finalized and announced by 3/12.
Here are details on crew positions and obligations. It's a rough detail, so if you need more info, please email me: matthew.b.zrebski@gmail.com
