TECH WEEK IS HERE - Below is what that means for the students!
Typically, around this time, we hold a mandatory parent meeting to talk to everyone about the critical rehearsals facing our students over the next two weeks. In lieu of this meeting, we have placed CRITICAL information below.
Please be mindful that students are required to attend the rehearsals they are called to for the full time. Students will not be excused to leave early, or miss any part of rehearsal for which they are needed. For the safety and integrity of the production, we need every team member present. Below, I've detailed in the body of this email, why our tech weeks are structured the way they are. Please be sure to read below thoroughly for critical information.

WHY ARE REHEARSALS SO LONG THIS WEEK?
In order to do this successfully, we need the set to be placed exactly where it will live during the performances and for actors and tech crew to be aware of how much light they have to operate safely.
Thank you for making sure the students are present for the rehearsals, and for the entirety of the rehearsal.
RRPA CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS
