Rehearsals begin in earnest after the Fourth of July. No vacations, no band practices, no community shows. We realize many high school students have summer jobs, and we will try to work out rehearsal schedules accordingly. Once the show opens, there are no rehearsals. YAE members must be available every performance day from August 25 until October 21.
Some pieces are easier than others.
Also, consider your age - it's probably not a great idea to perform an older person like King Lear or Lady Macbeth if you're a teenager. Also, stay away from Hamlet's famous soliloquy. This doesn't mean we hate your or you won't get into the program, we just have a lot of people to see and we need to keep things moving. So, pick a short piece so you won't worry about getting cut off. You don't have to wear a suit and tie, but you shouldn't be dressed like a slob.
