Schedules and Time Commitment
We know that students’ schedules are CRAZY, so Showstoppers only rehearses Sunday afternoons/evenings and tries to keep performances on Sundays as well (though this is not always possible). See the attached calendars for a tentative look at what the Showstoppers time commitment might look like for both groups. THESE ARE NOT FINAL SCHEDULES, THEY ARE LIKELY TO CHANGE!
