Tech Week
 The 2 weeks before a performance is considered “tech weeks”. This is when all of the technical elements are added to the show, and students rehearse in the space. These rehearsals are mandatory, and students cannot miss. 

Classes
 It is highly recommended (or required for some groups) that students participate in classes outside of their performance group. Acting, dance, and singing technique is learned outside of rehearsal time. Students who are not ready to be part of performance groups may be asked to join a class.
