Matilda Rehearsal Schedule
Matilda Rehearsals, Tech Calls, and Performances are postponed until further notice.
We will be in touch with students and families as more information comes available.
Cast Members: If you cannot be in attendance for a rehearsal, text your stage manager (Lindsay Douglass 910-585-5975) to let her know. ALSO, if you cannot be in attendance, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for sending someone in your place to the rehearsal to be your stand in for any choreography or blocking (this also applies to leaving early from or coming late to rehearsal). This stand in should not be your stage manager, and it should not be someone who is already in that scene. You are responsible for learning it on your own time before the next time we work on that scene.
If you are not in attendance and do not have a sub present, you may be removed from that scene.
If you are not in attendance and do not have a sub present, you may be removed from that scene.
- Cast Members and Parents: Please text message @PHSMatilda to phone number 81010 to sign up for text message alerts about Matilda (if you have not already done so)
- Ensemble Notations: When certain ensembles are called for certain scenes, look at the cast list to see who is a member of which ensemble.
