Rehearsals are weeknights
6:30-10:30 and Saturday afternoons 11:00-4:00, beginning two weeks before
scheduled opening. No Sundays. For productions involving children, every effort
will be made to release them at 9:00 PM, but, as the rehearsal period is short,
the entire cast will be expected at all rehearsals for tech week. Rehearsal
conflicts need to be very minimal, preferably none at all. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:

Non - Equity. There are
no Equity Contracts available for this 2010 Season. All roles are open except
Abner Yokum in Li’l Abner (see specific show breakdowns for details and casting
requirements). Mercury Summer Stock is committed to non-traditional casting.
Actors will be cast solely on the basis of talent, except in cases where age,
race or physical ability are essential to a role. Ages listed in breakdowns are
"character ages" not actor ages. Actors selected for casting may be
cast in more than one production for the season.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align:
