Any cast member with excessive tardies and excessive lack of preparation will be cut from the show or their part.
  • Dues will be paid by the first rehearsal. Dues are $45 for participants who are residents of Wethersfield & $55 for participants who are not residents of Wethersfield. Checks can be made payable to: WTTC. If dues are not paid, participants will not be allowed to rehearse. participants of the pit, tech crew, stage crew, make-up team and set design team are exempt from WTTC dues.
