Schedule
The schedule will be adjusted and change after each rehearsal to account for what we do and do not get covered so you will want to check this often to see when you are called. There will sometimes be multiple people working on multiple things in different rooms so check over carefully to see when you are needed. You might see your character's name or your name so watch for both. If it says "full cast" that means everyone who is in the cast on stage.
