Rehearsals will be each Friday and Saturday beginning August 8th with a few Wednesday evening vocal intensives thrown in as we approach show week Oct 12-19.

Evening Rehearsals will run from 5:00pm to 9:00pm. Saturday morning rehearsals will run from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Please do not make any permanent plans during rehearsal times not listed on your original conflict sheet.

A full rehearsal schedule will be provided to cast members as soon as it becomes available.

Of course! We would love to have you involved! If you’re interested in volunteering, you can reach out to our Operations Director Ellie at ellie@columbiatheater.org and she’ll get back to you as soon as she can about volunteer opportunities either pre-show or backstage based on your skills and interests. We are excited to work with you!

We provide opportunities prior to auditions to request or decline specific roles in any show and we do our best to consider and honor all such requests.

If you do decide to back out because of role placement without letting us know you’d only accept certain parts in advance, we will not force you to honor that commitment, but your decision may impact future casting decisions on the part of Columbia Theater.

Great question! We are working that out as you read this and we will have something in place by first rehearsal. Until then if you need to contact us you can reach out to operations@colmbiatheater.org or fill out the connect with us form here on our website and we will work to answer any further questions you may have.

Yes! All staff, volunteers, and contractors over the age of 18 are required to have up to date background checks done in order to participate in any activities run by Columbia Theater.

If you have been cast in this show or wish to volunteer with this show, our team will email you a link to complete the background check before the third week of rehearsals. Background checks not completed by then are subject to review by the executive team which may result in a suspension of participation until such time as a background check can be completed and verified.

If you have a recent background check run by another organization Columbia Theater is not authorized to accept it for our own liability purposes. We must run background checks on each participant ourselves.

Background checks are not optional and are run at the participant’s expense. The cost of each background check is $45 payable upon completion of the report.

However, here at Columbia Theater it is extremely important to us that theater is made available to all who wish to participate regardless of financial status. If you need financial assistance to complete the required background check process, please reach out to us. We want to have you involved and we are always happy to talk with you about how we can help make theater accessible to you.
