Rehearsal Spaces
The Theatre Department has two spaces students may use for rehearsing:
Sunderland Basement, and Room 232 in the MAC.
Space can be reserved for the current week only (including weekends). You may sign up for one hour at a time (students who prepare for their independent projects may request 2-hour slots if available). Please review the availability of the needed space in the calendars below and e-mail Mirjam Brett with a reservation request.
For Friday – Sunday rehearsal needs that have not been scheduled with Mirjam in advance, please use the sign-up sheets posted on the bulletin board next to Rm 232. The sheets go up Thursday afternoon.
Please show up on time and end on time, leaving 5 min for clean up at the end of your time. Leave the room in good condition and return furniture to the walls.
