Characters

The show consists of 5-6 performers (3 men and 2-3 women) who sing the songs and also participate in the inter-song monologues and dialogue. There is no "book" to speak of, but there are many lines, and each actor will be expected to take on a persona which will inform most of the performance.

Rehearsals (tentative)
We are still working out the rehearsal schedule which may be arranged around the schedules of the actors chosen. Our general expectation is that we will rehearse significantly on weekends (at least 5-6 hours each of those days) and have several weeknight 3 hour rehearsals as well. We will not rehearse on weekdays (before 7 PM) or Friday/Saturday nights. Principal rehearsals will be held at the Shelton Theater. Some rehearsals may be held elsewhere in San Francisco (TBD)

Performances
July 21 - August 24 at the Shelton Theater
Thursdays at 7 PM/Fridays at Midnight/Saturdays and Sundays at 3 PM
We may ask you to hold Friday and Saturday nights from 6 PM to Midnight until we open for possible additional performances.
