CALL BACKS: Call backs will be held September 17 through 19. If we need you to return for a callback, you will be notified as to which date and time.  Not every role needs a callback, so please remember to check the final cast list, even if you didn’t get called back.  Callbacks will be held at the Valentine Theater.
