Rehearsal and Performance The rehearsal period for one academic production will not exceed six weeks. Actors and crew are expected to be prompt to all calls; appear at the theatre when they are called; pay strict regard to makeup and dress; perform services as reasonably directed and sustained by the stage manager; care for costumes, props and rehearsal spaces; and abide by all rules and regulations of UMKC. Repeated lateness or other infractions of the rules will lead to disciplinary proceedings. Rehearsals for academic productions are demanding and will require a significant amount of your time and energy. Students are encouraged to manage their time well throughout the rehearsal process.
