Closed Rehearsals

Who can answer your closed rehearsals questions:

• Andrea Fife - Producer

So, technically, EYT rehearsals have always been closed.  In the early years, I even posted a sign.  As the program grows (and more specifically as our pool of awesome alumni grows), I know it is going to be necessary this year to enforce that rule.  

What does this mean?

This means that the entire Empress premises from the hours of 9:00 to 4:30 is off limits to everyone except:

• Enrolled students
• 2018 EYT Staff and Interns
• Empress Theatre staff and board members
• Volunteers signed up using Sign Up during the period of their volunteer assignment
• Children under 8 years old who are with a guardian who meets one of the above requirements and who are directly and actively supervised by that guardian
• Children under 18 years old who are with a guardian and who have approval from Andrea (example: JJ and Andrea's half day kids during full day rehearsals)

But just like the FRIEND ZONE, there is a loophole!  This is designed specifically for amazing people like Jose, Travis, McKenna, Chris, and so many more who we hope may want to stop by.  In accordance with my "once EYT, always EYT" mindset, we'd love to have alumni join us anytime for lunch and games.  Just please don't be sad (or subversive) when I kick you out of rehearsal.  You, of all people, know how hard it is to put together a show in only three weeks!

And please know that just like all EYT rules, this one is put in place by a caring human.  If you need an exception, just message me!  We'll see what we can work out.
