Pre-production stages will be shorter days, 4-6 hours, only 4 days a week. The two weeks before opening night and the days of the shows expect to work 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week. Closing night, a party will be held in reward for everyone's hard work. Post production weeks will consist of a two hour concept meeting twice a week until the next project presents itself.
