Rehearsals are usually held on weekday evenings (generally 7PM - 9:30PM) and some weekend days. Rehearsal schedules are built around the availability of the cast once auditions are over.

Audition notices for the Shakespeare plays and Edgar Allan Poe are usually posted here and in BACKSTAGE magazine. Artists auditioning for these productions need to be available for day-time rehearsals and performances.

People interested in working on tech (lights, sound), stage managing, costumes, sets, publicity, etc. may call the theatre at any time, or come to any open cast call.
