What a turn out tonight! Due to the talent on display, the vibe was both exciting and daunting for directors. We cannot stress enough that IF you are not on the callback schedule, that does not necessarily mean you will NOT be cast. Callbacks will be 3:30pm-6pm.

1. ALL links can only be accessed through your school Google account. Please check this list carefully and note the times/rooms you are slotted for: Shorts 23 Callback Schedule
2. Callback rooms will be the black box, makeup room, band room, and green room. If you do not know where one of these locations are, please ask Allie, the PSM, or one of the ASMs – Gabby, Maddie, or Gracie.
3. All callbacks except “All Rise” will be cold reads – sides will be passed out in the rooms as opposed to given ahead of time. You can find the “All Rise” callback sides here: ALL RISE Callback Sides
4. Please check back here for the cast list tomorrow night. THURSDAY (4/6) from 3:15-5:15 is the first rehearsal.
