Performances are typically held on Saturdays and Sundays, with the occasional holiday Friday or Monday, and sometimes a special day for a local elementary school. Every now and then, there's a promotion we have to do for television or radio. Usually Monday is our day off. From Tuesday on are rehearsal days, and Friday is prep day before all the insanity begins again. For every staged show I'm in, there's an outline for an improvised dialogue or a script and blocking I have to remember, including dance steps and stage fighting.
Music has to be memorized, even if it's changed the night before.
No net theater. No stunt doubles, no understudies, no retakes, and no second chances. Whatever I say during a performance can't be edited or denied.
