3. MONDAY/TUESDAY
Monday is the start of show week proper, where we are allowed into the theatre! The whole cast call on Monday, and for the rest of the week (except Saturday of course) is 5.30pm. The call is the latest time that you should be in the theatre - there will be a sign-in sheet in the green room upon which you MUST record your movements in and out of the theatre; this is required to comply with fire safety law. In case you're still hazy about where the theatre actually is, here it is on Google Maps:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=221The above topic also notes some 'directions' to the Mitchell - again, if you're confused, just ask. If you're using public transport to get there, the easiest way is probably the 44 bus into town, or the train to Charing Cross. You can get the subway too - to St George's Cross - but this is further away than either the bus stop or train station. Once you get to the building, walk around to the opposite side from the dome, and use the entrances behind the giant stone figures. You will then be in the atrium of the Mitchell - turn to your left and you will see a door with a code-lock next to the gents' toilets. This is where you're going. No, the locked door, not the toilets.
There are four dressing rooms in the Mitchell: the provisional plan is that two of these will be for the ladies, one for the gentlemen, and one for the band and the make-up girls. When you get there, it'll be simple enough to find out which is which; there will be signs, and most probably other people there before you! Incidentally, you will be fine to leave things such as costume in the Mitchell changing rooms, so long as it is left tidily, otherwise the cleaners don't like it. Please don't leave any valuables though.
Monday night in the theatre will be the tech rehearsal - this will be hopefully a full run of the show with all the tech we can muster. People on the production team, committee, or tech crew may get stressed and shout - please don't take this personally, everyone has an awful lot to do! Tuesday night should be a bit more stress-free: this will be the dress rehearsal, and your call is again 5.30pm. Note that on both nights we will probably finish just before 11pm, depending on exactly what has to happen and how it goes.
