Rehearsal Spaces - MAC 232 & Sunderland Basement
Starting every week on Monday at 8:30 am, Theatre students can reserve space via email for the current week including the weekend. Before sending a reservation request, please check availability of MAC 232 or Sunderland basement in the calendar below.
Submit your requests to Mirjam (mbrett@middlebury.edu) by 1:00 pm on Thursday.
For Friday – Sunday rehearsal needs that have not been scheduled in advance, use the sign-up sheets posted on the bulletin board next to MAC 232. The sheets go up Friday mid-morning.
You may sign up for one hour at a time. Students who prepare for their 500/700 projects may request 2-hour slots in Sunderland Basement only.
Please show up on time and vacate the room on time, leaving enough time clean-up at the end of your session. We expect that you leave the room in good condition and return furniture to the walls.
