Dress Rehearsal
Thursday, June 12th at UB Center for the Arts, Mainstage
To make the best use of everyone's time during dress rehearsal, we have separated our cast into two groups which will rehearse during different time slots.
NEW - NO costumes will be worn during our dress rehearsal. Students are to wear all black dance attire and bring all appropriate dance shoes. Hair should be pulled away neatly from the face.
